WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 20, 2007) - CampusMBA, the award winning education division of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), today launched FHA Central, a
complete FHA and VA training solution for the real estate finance industry. Custom classes are designed to provide professionals
with insight into how FHA and VA loans can be leveraged as this expanding segment of the market becomes an even more important
component of the product suite being offered by lenders. The classes provide professionals with both tactical and strategic
skills that can immediately be applied to their current business.
"As FHA's influence and market share are now growing again, this is the ideal time for industry professionals to learn or
re-learn the basics of the FHA program and how it can be utilized," said John Golden, MBA's Vice President of Education.
"It's critical that they understand how these recent changes will affect their businesses, and by leveraging CampusMBA's FHA
Central, they will have the opportunity to see the broader role that FHA and VA loans can play in helping more borrowers achieve
the American dream of homeownership."
FHA Central includes a series of live online workshops, instructor-led Web courses, print-based courses and publications.
Upcoming seminars include, "How to Become FHA Approved" on November 28, 2007 from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. ET and "Top Ten Advantages
of Selling VA Products" on December 12, 2007 from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. ET. Instructor-led Web courses will begin in early 2008
