Company Test Enrollments for Individual

Prior to scheduling an appointment to take a S.A.F.E. National Test at a test center, a test enrollment must be requested and paid for in NMLS. All Account Administrators and any company user with the “Manage Test Enrollment” role can request test enrollments for Individuals under the Testing sub-section of the MLO Testing & Education tab if the company has access to the Individual’s record.

About this task

Company Account Administrators will have automatic access to the MLO Testing & Education tab and the “Manage Test Enrollment” role. Company users must be granted the “Manage Test Enrollment” role to access to the MLO Testing & Education tab.
