This new online course satisfies one of the requirements for counseling certification, and is equivalent to the popular two-day Foreclosure Basics course taught at NeighborWorks training institutes and regional trainings. The course is aimed at anyone who wants to learn more about dealing with foreclosures, but is especially designed for people who have one year of general homeownership counseling experience, and less than one year of foreclosure counseling experience. It’s a user-friendly learning experience, and comes with frequently asked questions and online help to ensure an efficient use of your time.
The course costs only $195. To take the course:
- Register online at www.nw.org/onlinereg. (If you haven’t registered for a NeighborWorks course online before, you’ll need to first fill out a profile and obtain a user name and password. The online user profile requires that each person use a unique email address as their login that can not be used by anyone else. Within minutes, you’ll get an e-mail with a temporary password, and a link with instructions to log back into your online user account where you will be prompted to reset your temporary password with a permanent password of your choosing.)
- Enter your user name and password and your online learning home page will open up. From this page you can register for an e-learning course or any of the NeighborWorks public events. Select the e-learning option, and click on “Register Now”.
- Then select the check box for course HO109el and select “NEXT” at the bottom of the page to continue to the payment page.
- On the payment page, you will be required to submit course payment in full by credit card (Visa, MasterCard or American Express) to complete your course enrollment. Once your credit card payment is confirmed, you’ll be given a link and instructions to log in to the course.
Each of the four modules of this course will take between a half-hour to 1-½ hours to complete. You’ll have 60 days, as your schedule allows, to work through the four modules and pass the final exam once you begin.
Look for additional e-learning courses coming this fall, and visit us regularly at www.nw.org/training for updates on the complete range of training and certification opportunities offered by NeighborWorks America.
