The Five Star Institute and Aspen Grove Solutions have announced the release of a rebuilt Five Star Academy [1] (FSA) website, featuring a new look and a more intuitive interface. Aspen Grove Solutions, a Maryland-based provider of technology solutions to the mortgage services industry, provides the platform delivery for FSA through its learning partnership [2] with the Five Star Institute.
Aspen partners with learning content providers to host and deliver 24/7 eLearning content through its Aspen iLearn service or via white-labeled offerings such as FSA. The Five Star Academy is an independent certification program with courses written by housing and mortgage industry experts.
“The objective of the FSA is to provide relevant, timely, and actionable education tailored for professionals of all levels servicing the mortgage industry. We expect these certifications to contribute not only to the careers of those who complete the coursework but also to the overall progress of the industry as a whole,” said Ed Delgado, President and CEO of the Five Star Institute.
FSA offers key education in regulatory compliance, legal practice, diversity and inclusion, and distressed asset disposition in an easy-to-use online format. Each FSA certification program contains eight courses and the equivalent of 20 credit hours of relevant material. Additional information about the FSA and its four certification programs can be found at TheFiveStarAcademy.com [3].
“As committed industry professionals, we at Aspen appreciate how important it is to acquire and maintain in-depth knowledge in our sector. We take pride in the knowledge that we are facilitating the work of our industry-leading education partners at the Five Star Institute and ensuring the best training and education is available in the marketplace,” Edmond Buckley, President of Aspen Grove Solutions, said.
The Five Star Institute is a publishing, communications, marketing, and event-planning company. Five Star hosts one of the most prominent mortgage events in the United States—the Five Star Conference and Expo [4].
