Let’s explore the MLO license education requirements in Illinois. Aspiring MLO’s in Illinois must complete 20 hours of NMLS-approved education. This comprehensive education encompasses 3 hours of federal law, 3 hours of ethics (addressing fraud, consumer protection, and fair lending), 2 hours of non-traditional mortgage lending, and 12 hours of elective education.
Illinois does not impose any additional state-specific continuing education requirements beyond the initial 20 hours of SAFE education. Once you complete the 20 hours of SAFE education, you are ready to take your exam without needing any further education.
In addition to completing pre-licensing education requirements in Illinois, you will also need to pass the National MLO Exam and undergo a criminal background check before licensing. Utilize the Illinois MLO Application Checklist provided by the NMLS to assist you in the application process.
