Some of that yes, some of it no.
The 8 hour requirement is for state-licensed MLOs, not registered MLOs. Your consultant may be selling you on something more than what you need, or may be selling you a viable product. Registered MLOs need training commensurate with their lending activities, but there is no specification for how many hours, or how that training should be administered (thus, it doesn't
have to be you, it can be webinars, in-person training, conferences, etc). You'll have to determine what that training looks like for your lenders. Don't let your consultant tell you what you need to know, make sure you know it and are covered. Not all of these courses are going to cover everything you truly need to train on, they're too general and can't cover your specific products or services.
