Loan Originator Pre-licensing and Continuing Education WEBINARS via Adobe Connect
You will need to download Adobe Connect and install it on your computer before the class starts.
—
After you download and install Adobe connect, return to the webinar class link and enter the webinar through the Adobe Connect app and not a web browser.
On my computer, I click the blue button “Open the Adobe Connect App,” wait a few seconds……and the Adobe Connect App opens.

I will send detailed instructions before the class date.
If you’ve never used Adobe Connect, login at 7:45AM
If you’re super anxious about webinars and new technology, I will be logged in at 7:30AM to help first timers.
If everything is all connected, then you can step away until 8AM.
Login no later than 8:00 AM
Posted end time is 5:00 PM
You’ll need a computer that is not a corporate computer because sometimes computers that are owned by the company have locked down the users ability to access the microphone and camera. If you are able to attend zoom meetings, and webinars and have had no tech problems with your webcam so far, meaning, you can see the presenter and the presenter can see you, then you should be fine.
It’s like any other webinar platform: You log in, and you will allow the system to access your webcam.
You’re on camera all day. The NMLS requires I verify your attendance that way, similar to a live class.
A live webinar is the closest you can get to a live class.
Just like the live class: We go through the course packet, stopping to talk about what I’ve underlined.
We read and discuss the case studies.
10 minute breaks at the top of every hour
1 full hour for lunch.
The webinar is recorded and if the regulator ever decides to audit my course, that is what she’ll use.
I hope this gives you an idea of what to expect with a webinar.
Registration: First pay, and then you’ll need to complete the paperwork the week of class: The course sign-in sheet, the NMLS Rules of Conduct, and a PDF or pic of your photo ID.
And after you send me your paperwork, I’ll send the webinar link.
Here are the most common technology issues
Sometimes another piece of software is interfering with the use of your camera such as Skype,
Some company computers lock down any external use of the microphone or camera. If this is you, plan to use your own personal computer.
The NMLS recommends you connect to the internet directly from your internet cable and not WIFI.
If you ONLY have access to WIFI, sit as close to your WIFI modem as possible. The farther away you are away from your WIFI, and the more people in your home using the WIFI during the webinar will interfere with your ability to stay connected to the webinar.
It doesn’t matter what webinar platform I use: All have their own unique idiosyncrasies and tech glitches. I have found the most common way to solve tech glitches is something as simple as logging out of Adobe Connect and then log back in again.
Plan to log on early, the day of class. I am unable to give personal tech support once class begins.
