Nathan
Knottingham,
COO
at

Vetted
VA,
announced
the
launch
of
a
new
mortgage
continuing
education
provider,

MLO
Force,
from
the
stage
at
HousingWire’s

The
Gathering
this
week.

The
company,
operated
by

20/20
Vision
for
Success
Coaching,
will
be
led
by
Knottingham
as
CEO
and
video
producer
Sawyer
Jones.
The
aim
is
to
leverage
the
pair’s
experience
in
content,
training
and
digital
production
to
make
required
NMLS
training
more
fun,
Knottingham
said. 

“Annual
CE
requirements
can
feel
like
a
chore
–
but
we
view
it
as
a
kind
of
common
ground
where
our
industry
can
take
a
beat,
have
fun,
and
learn
together
as
a
team.
It’s
an
opportunity
to
make
those
8+
hours
really
count,”
Knottingham
said.

Knottingham
has
been
a
part
of
the
mortgage
industry
for
nearly
two
decades,
working
in
the
origination
process
and
serving
as
a
well-known
instructor
for
NMLS
courses
nationwide.
Jones,
a
colorful
video
producer,
will
also
be
an
on-screen
host
and
their
joint
mission
is
to
make
LOs
laugh
along
the
way.

“When
I
tell
my
friends
and
family
that
I
produce
mortgage
continuing
education
for
a
living,
they
often
assume
it’s
a
boring
job,”
Jones
said.
“But
I’ve
never
had
as
much
fun
as
I
do
when
developing
these
courses.
From
games
and
comedy
to
engaging
conversations
with
industry
leaders,
I
think
the
fun
we
have
shines
through
in
our
product.”

MLO
Force
serves
all

National
Mortgage
Licensing
System
(NMLS)
licensed
professionals
seeking
to
maintain
their
licenses.
The
comprehensive
continuing
education
courses
cover
federal
and
state-specific
CE
requirements
in
a
compelling
and
entertaining
digital-first
video
format
designed
to
make
the
completion
process
as
painless
and
informative
as
possible.

Learners
can
access
courses
online,
at
home
and
navigate
through
the
content
at
their
own
pace,
with
the
ability
to
pause
and
resume
as
needed.

The
company
said
it
is
well
aware
of
the
current
challenging
mortgage
market
and
has
priced
the
courses
accordingly.
Live
classes
are
offered
at
a
flat
fee.
MLO
Force
also
offers
wholesale
pricing
to
companies
and
branches
looking
for
CE
for
entire
teams.

“In
this
way,
we
support
our
friends
and
colleagues
looking
to
grow
business
into
the
coming
years,”
Knottingham
said.
“Our
goal
is
to
continually
enhance
our
offerings
and
deliver
impactful,
responsive
training
that
meets
the
evolving
mortgage
industry
needs.”

Looking
ahead,
MLO
Force
said
it
plans
to
introduce
additional
benefits,
such
as
complimentary
compliance
training
in
BSA/AML,

cybersecurity,

fair
lending
and
more.
