One massive difference between AAA Mortgage Training and other schools is that at AAA Mortgage Training, we are constantly available. AAA Mortgage Training’s instructors answer questions via text, phone call, chat feature, or email; you choose, and we respond on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Almost all other schools hire an instructor who works a schedule similar to 9a-6p of their time zone selected Monday-Friday and try to get learners to conform to the instructor’s schedule making completing the course more challenging for MLO license applicants if they need to do some, most or all of the course outside those “normal business hours”.
At AAA Mortgage Training, we understand that learning is not confined to a specific time or day.

Your instructor is accessible by email, chat feature, text and or phone every day of your course schedule and for your extended test preparation period. This extended period, which begins after your 20-hour course completion window, allows you to reinforce your learning and prepare thoroughly for the exam. Select a schedule length that aligns with your best effort completion timeline. 14-day schedules do not permit significantly faster completion times, such as 5 days. One reason for this critical NMLS rule requirement is that shorter schedules better defend against some inevitable memory loss, and a structured, disciplined approach to test preparation yields a better passing probability.
