Where classroom training meets real world experience.

This is where we develop the mortgage banking leaders of the future. Countrywide University’s (CU) training programs are designed to prepare participants for one of two career paths, sales or operations.  CU Sales Associates move into competitive positions where they are paid directly on their production while CU Operations Associates handle the critical back office operations.  So whether you are sales oriented or analytical, CU has opportunities. Contact us today to see what we can do for you.

Each CU training program begins with five to six weeks of intensive classroom training in Dallas, Texas.  CU Associates will be exposed to curriculum including courses in Countrywide Home Loan’s culture and values, time management, loan basics, mortgage banking, competitor analysis, diversity, compliance, fair lending, multicultural markets, credit reporting, appraisal review, pricing, underwriting, loan processing, and quality control.

The classroom sessions are followed by four weeks of on-the-job training in participants' designated locations to help them prepare for a career with increasing rewards and responsibility.  Upon successful completion of the program, CU graduates will be more prepared to make an immediate contribution to the team in one of Countrywide's many locations.

We currently train CU Sales Associates and CU Operations Associates for our Consumer Markets Division (CMD),   Wholesale Lending Division (WLD) and Countywide's Full Spectrum® Lending Division (FSL).

• Have graduated with a BA, BBA or BS degree.
• Possess an entrepreneurial spirit.
