Getting Started

How do I earn the Certified Mortgage Compliance Professional (CMCP) designation?

There are three levels in the CMCP Specialist Designation learning path. Successful completion of Level I will earn you the Mortgage Compliance Achievement Certificate, Level II the Mortgage Compliance Professional Certificate, and Level III the Certified Mortgage Compliance Professional (CMCP) designation. You will need to enroll in each level of the program.

How do I know where to start? Which certificate is first?

Each level is designed to incorporate your experience:

Achievement Certificate: CMCP Level I courses are recommended for individuals with at least 1 year of experience.

Professional Certificate: CMCP Level II courses are recommended for individuals with 3-4 years of experience.

CMCP Designation: CMCP Level III courses are recommended for individuals with 4+ years of experience.

What if I have less than one year experience?

If you have less than one year experience in regulatory compliance, we recommend that you complete a mortgage banking web-based overview course such as Mortgage Banking Primer prior to beginning this program.

Fees

Will I receive a certificate at each level?

You will receive a printed certificate for successful completion of Level I and Level II.

When you successfully complete Level III and earn your CMCP designation, you will be presented the CMCP Specialist Designation certificate in a professional plaque at the MBA Regulatory Compliance Conference.

After I enroll in the program, do I need to pay separate testing fees?

The testing fees are included in your enrollment fees for Level I and Level II. You are required to pay an enrollment fee at each level.

The CMCP designation (Level III) exam is an additional fee ($150 for MBA members, $300 for nonmembers).

If I do not pass an assessment, are there fees for retesting?

If you have successfully completed the coursework for Level I, II, or III but need to retake the test, you must pay a retesting fee of $100 for each level.

Are courses included with the enrollment fee?

Courses are not included with the enrollment fee. You must register for and purchase required courses separately. You may do so online or by calling (800) 348-8653.

I am currently enrolled in an e-Ticket with my company. Do I have to pay the enrollment or retesting fees?

If your company subscribes to CampusMBA’s e-Ticket program and you are an e-Ticket participant, you may enroll in Levels I and II at no additional cost. In order to waive these fees, you must enroll through the e-Ticket enrollment page. Should you not pass the final exam on the first attempt, you must pay a retesting fee in order to take the exam again.

If you need help enrolling in a certificate program or course, or for if you have questions regarding testing, please call (800) 348-8653.

My company licenses course content from CampusMBA and hosts the courses on our company's learning management system. Do I have to pay enrollment fees?

Yes. Your trainer must provide proof of course completion to the CampusMBA registrar.
