Two Mortgage Industry Veterans Form Next Level Education

Next Level Education, a provider of continuing education and training for the mortgage industry, announces the company’s formation and launch of its website. The firm focuses on empowering mortgage professionals and advancing home ownership throughout the industry. It was co-founded by two industry veterans, J.R. Huber and Debbie Gadberry, who are serving as CEO/President and COO/Senior Vice President respectively. The company’s principals have a combined 70+ years of experience in the mortgage market, having helped numerous homeowners directly and indirectly throughout their careers.

The motivation behind founding Next Level Education was clear: to help industry experts advance home ownership across the country. Huber and Gadberry realized that by motivating new professionals to enter the industry and elevating seasoned veterans, they could exponentially impact the number of families achieving homeownership. Next Level Education was born from this vision – to inspire and equip loan officers with the tools, knowledge, and confidence that can make a lasting difference.

Next Level Education is dedicated to empowering mortgage professionals through cutting-edge education and industry-leading expertise. It leverages an advanced Learning Management System from Adobe, along with the full suite of Adobe tools, to deliver a more engaging and personalized learning experience, helping both new and experienced professionals enhance their skills.

“By integrating innovative technological solutions, we believe we can transform professional development as we know it, ushering in a new era where mortgage industry training is dynamic and easily adaptable to diverse learning styles,” said Huber. “Our team is eager to begin cultivating the industry’s emerging leaders in an engaging and effective way.”

The firm will offer four types of delivery methods: In-person, Webinar, Self-paced Online, and Instructor-led online. Its content will include continuing education, exam preparation, professional development, and personal growth. It will also provide a suite of learning resources to supplement its course offerings including podcasts, blog posts, discounts, news alerts, licensing guidance, and a variety of free content.

“J.R. and I had a vision to make continuous education and learning more enjoyable and engaging in our industry. By leveraging our many decades of experience, we’re confident we can help both new and seasoned loan officers be successful,” said Gadberry. “Our ultimate goal is to elevate the expertise of mortgage professionals and develop a mortgage industry workforce that is qualified and capable of helping Americans achieve the dream of homeownership.”
