Next Level Education, a training provider dedicated to empowering mortgage professionals through education and industry-leading expertise, has acquired Summit Mortgage Training, which delivers pre-licensing education and NMLS continuing education courses, for an undisclosed sum.
Summit Mortgage Training was founded eight years ago by Andrea Gagliardi. The firm has training offerings throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida.
Next Level Education was launched earlier this year by mortgage industry veterans J.R. Huber and Debbie Gadberry.
As part of the deal, Gagliardi has joined the Next Level team as director of content management.
“This acquisition was a strategic decision on our part to accelerate the growth of Next Level Education while expanding our access to mortgage professionals along the East Coast, empowering them with cutting-edge education options and industry-leading expertise,” says Huber, in a release.
“By acquiring Summit, we have immediately grown our content offerings to provide an even more robust and comprehensive training suite for the mortgage industry,” adds Gadberry.
Among new courses that will be offered by Next Level Education are “Ninety Days to Impact!,” a 13-week coaching program for new loan officers designed to increase organizations and referral sources, and “Mortgage Fundamentals,” an introductory course on the mechanics of loan originations.
