OnCourse Learning Launches Integrated Mortgage Training Ecosystem with Strategic Ally

The mortgage lending industry faces mounting pressure to develop skilled, compliant workforces capable of navigating complex regulatory landscapes while competing for top talent. OnCourse Learning, a leading provider of professional development solutions under parent company Adtalem Global Education (NYSE: ATGE), has introduced a new integrated training framework in partnership with Mortgage Champions to address this systemic challenge.

Unified Training Architecture Bridges Market Gap

The joint initiative consolidates licensing requirements, regulatory compliance, and sales competency into a single coherent training pathway. Rather than forcing organizations to cobble together fragmented solutions from multiple vendors, the collaboration delivers what the market has long needed: a cohesive onboarding and advancement system for mortgage professionals at every career stage.

The combined curriculum merges OnCourse Learning’s established library—spanning regulatory certifications, continuing education mandates, and product licensing—with Mortgage Champions’ specialized expertise in sales methodology, leadership development, and transaction management across refinancing and purchase scenarios. This integration enables lenders to enroll employees in one program that simultaneously addresses licensure requirements while building practical sales competency from lead generation through loan closing.

Addressing the Talent Retention Challenge

Dale Vermillion, founder and CEO of Mortgage Champions, emphasizes that this represents a long-overdue solution for an increasingly competitive sector. “Lenders deploying this framework to systematically train and credential their sales teams will gain measurable competitive advantage,” Vermillion notes. The approach targets a persistent industry problem: developing professionals who understand both compliance obligations and customer-centric sales principles.

Brett Shively, president of OnCourse Learning, frames the partnership as a response to evolving customer expectations. Mortgage lenders increasingly demand education providers capable of handling not just regulatory training, but the holistic business development requirements of modern lending operations. This collaboration reflects that market reality.

Credentials and Scalability

Upon program completion, participants receive joint certification designed to signal commitment to professional excellence, ethical conduct, and borrower-focused sales practices. The offering reflects decades of institutional expertise: OnCourse Learning has delivered training to over 190,000 professionals throughout its 40+ year operational history, while serving more than 10,000 clients and partners seeking efficient complexity management across compliance, risk, and organizational growth initiatives.

This integrated model provides mortgage enterprises with a scalable talent development infrastructure positioned to strengthen competitive positioning in an increasingly demanding marketplace.
