You must complete a minimum of 20 hours of NMLS-approved pre-licensing education to fulfill the Pre-licensing Requirements for Alabama.
The Pre-licensing Education (PE) covers 3 hours dedicated to Federal law, 3 hours on ethics (which covers topics such as fraud, consumer protection, and fair lending issues), 2 hours on non-traditional mortgage lending, and 12 hours of elective education.
Beyond the initial 20 hours of SAFE education, Alabama does not have any state-specific PE requirements. After you complete the 20 hours of SAFE education, you will be ready to apply for your MLO license and take the exam.
The Alabama MLO Application Checklist from the NMLS can guide you through the process of becoming a licensed MLO in Alabama, including paying fees, being sponsored by an employer, and fulfilling the Pre-licensing Requirements for Alabama. You can view the full checklist using the link below.
