NeighborWorks HECM Training
There are two training requirements for HECM roster counselors.
Initial training: To become a HECM counselor on the HUD HECM roster, you must take an approved formal HECM training course before you apply.
Continuing education: Once you are on the roster, you are required to take HUD-approved HECM-related continuing education every two years to maintain your roster status.
You must obtain a certificate for each successfully completed course, and then scan and upload the certificate into the FHA roster application system (FHA Connection) to receive credit for HECM training.
NeighborWorks HECM Training Courses
We offer three in-person HECM training courses at NeighborWorks Training Institutes (NTIs) and occasional Place Based Trainings (PBTs). Any of these courses may be used to satisfy either the initial training requirement or the continuing education requirement for the HECM roster.
