The NMLS recently put out the 3rd quarter student survey results. Mortgage students are asked questions by NMLS regarding their experience & learning from NMLS-approved providers. The main goal is to learn if providers are offering quality courses, plus it’s a way for NMLS to give providers feedback.
ProSchools tracks feedback on a regular basis, both from the NMLS and our own student surveys at the end of each ProSchools course. Here are a few things learned from the NMLS survey:
- Course quality, rigor and interaction went up slightly in 3rd quarter, compared to 2nd quarter.
- The biggest improvement seemed to be in online instructor-led (YAA!! – ProSchools is in this group!). Student’s perception of interaction and relevancy of assignments and quizzes showed markedly higher results.
- Biggest area of concern is the webinar courses. Student responses seem to indicate that course materials and assignments/quizzes aren’t always helpful in the learning process.
- Online-instructor-led courses scored the highest, compared to live classes and webinars, when asked if assignments and quizzes helped with learning and whether courses possessed sufficient difficulty.
