Information about the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) certification is available on the HECM Counseling Resources page of the HUD Exchange.
The online training is interactive, but the videos do not include audio. However, the downloadable study guides do have an audio option. To access this open the Training Center within your account, scroll down to and click on Download Study guide.
Once the page loads click on the desired module to download PDF. Open the PDF and within Adobe go to View > Read Out Loud > Activate Read Out Loud.
The Study guide PDF syncs with the training module so it is recommended to have both open and active at the same time, although you may just listen along if you prefer.
The modules are somewhat helpful, would be more helpful with audio. Wish there were more free study groups and FREE training to pass the counselor certification exam
