24hourEDU Gets NMLS Approval for MLO Continuing Education in All 50 States

24hourEDU says mortgage loan originators can now complete annual NMLS continuing education through one online platform approved in all 50 states. The expansion matters because multi-state license holders can meet renewal requirements with one course portal instead of juggling separate providers and state-specific deadlines.

Why it matters: - 24hourEDU’s all-50-state NMLS approval gives mortgage loan originators one place to complete annual continuing education tied to license renewal. - The platform is aimed at MLOs with multi-state licenses who need to satisfy different state requirements before renewal deadlines. - The service could reduce course-shopping friction for originators who must manage national core education plus state-specific electives.

What happened: - 24hourEDU expanded its online mortgage continuing education platform and earned NMLS approval across all 50 states. - Licensed mortgage loan originators can complete their annual NMLS continuing education through the platform in any state where they hold an active license. - The announcement was dated July 28, 2026, in Atlanta.

The details: - Under the SAFE Act, state-licensed mortgage loan originators must complete NMLS-approved continuing education every year to keep an active license and meet state renewal deadlines. - 24hourEDU’s curriculum includes a 7-hour core 2026 CE course with 3 hours of Federal, 2 hours of Ethics and 2 hours of Nontraditional content, listed as NMLS #18551. - The platform also offers a 1-hour elective course for 2026 CE on Fair Lending and Consumer Reporting, listed as NMLS #18603. - State-specific elective courses cover local law modules for jurisdictions that require extra instruction. - Completed self-paced course hours are submitted to the NMLS database at no additional cost. - Course hours are reported to a student’s NMLS account the next day using the NMLS ID number and last name. - 24hourEDU says staff report hours seven days per week for all 50 states. - Courses are delivered in an online pre-recorded, fully narrated video format. - The company built a course-selection tool in its learning management system that lets mortgage loan officers enter the states where they hold an MLO license into one search bar. - Approved courses for those states then populate a shopping cart for purchase and access in the training account. - The package is designed to help originators meet educational requirements before renewing through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System & Registry.

Between the lines: - The rollout targets a pain point in mortgage compliance: annual education deadlines vary by state, and some come well before year-end. - A single platform with state-specific filtering could be especially useful for originators working across several jurisdictions. - Joseph Tollefson, director of sales for 24hourEDU, said managing separate training vendors for each state license has long been a headache for originators.

What’s next: - Originators will need to complete the required CE before their state-specific renewal deadlines. - States with earlier deadlines include Georgia on October 31, the District of Columbia and West Virginia on November 1, Kentucky and South Carolina (DCA) on November 30, several jurisdictions on December 1, and Utah (DRE) and Washington on December 15. - Most other listed states and territories have a December 31 deadline, including California, Florida, Texas, New York and Virginia. - 24hourEDU is positioning the platform as a full-year renewal option for MLOs nationwide ahead of those deadlines.

The bottom line: - 24hourEDU is betting that one NMLS-approved online CE hub for all 50 states will simplify compliance for mortgage loan originators with multi-state licenses.
