The Mortgage Foundations course was designed to help participants build a strong foundation for an existing or new career in the mortgage industry.
There are no job post that ask for a “Certification” for processing and the only “certifications” that mean anything for underwriters are from HUD to underwrite FHA loans and the Veterans Administration to underwrite VA loans. A lender has to Sponsor you for both of these designations (FHA & VA).
