About the Mortgage Agent Course The CMBA Mortgage Agent Course meets the educational requirements for Mortgage Agent licensing by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario. As such, results of successful completion of this program are reported to FSRA (The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario) on a regular basis. CMBA’s Mortgage Agent Course provides those wishing to become licensed Mortgage Agents with an understanding of the mortgage brokerage industry and an ability to perform the Agent’s role in the mortgage origination process. The course also covers the legislation which governs the industry, the role of the Agent in consumer protection, and ethical decision-making. For both the Online and In-class courses, the course content and exam are the same. The exam contains multiple choice questions based on cases that reflect practical examples typically encountered by mortgage agents in the industry. The minimum grade required to pass the final exam is 60%. Students who fail the final exam are eligible for one rewrite exam at the first available date, at a cost of $75 plus HST. If you have failed your second exam, you will have to take the course over as per the regulator. Note: If you completed your Mortgage Agent Course over 2 years ago, or if your license has been expired for over 2 years you MUST re-take the course and pass the exam.
