Training That Saves Time: Meet Arch MI’s New Micro Learning Library

Issues Facing OriginatorsMortgage Solutions


In the fast‑moving world of mortgage lending, time is one of your most valuable resources. With loan pipelines to manage, borrower questions to answer and guidelines that change year to year, carving out an hour for a full webinar isn’t easy.

That’s exactly why Arch MI is introducing its new Micro Learning Library — a modern, flexible training solution designed to meet mortgage professionals where they are and on their schedule.

Our mini-modules give you quick, focused training experiences that fit easily into a packed workday. These aren’t long presentations or videos that require headphones in a busy office. Instead, each is a short, self‑paced resource designed for efficiency, convenience and real‑world use.

Smarter Training in 20 Minutes or Less

We continue to offer our comprehensive training programs through live webinars and on-demand video when you want a full overview of a subject.

We also recognize that mortgage pros often need refreshers — not full courses. As examples, you can use Arch MI’s Micro Learning Library to quickly brush up on how self-employment is defined or which borrowers need to provide tax returns. Jump straight to the topic you need instead of searching through lengthier webinars or skimming long PowerPoints.

Our new mini-modules take 10 to 20 minutes — just enough time to review core concepts without taking you offline for a full hour. These “bite‑sized info nuggets” are ideal for days when you need answers fast or want to quickly review a topic before reviewing a file.

The library launches with micro-training on the most requested topic: tax and income verification. The content is organized into three core categories:

  • Income fundamentals: Paystubs, W‑2s, overtime, commissions and more.
  • Personal tax returns: Key forms and schedules.
  • Business tax returns: Partnerships, sole proprietorships, corporations and S Corporations.

Easy Access, Whenever You Need It

Loan officers, underwriters and processors don’t always have time to wait for the next webinar date — and with the Micro Learning Library, you don’t have to. All modules are available on demand, directly from Arch MI’s website, so you can train when it fits your schedule.

Whether you’re at your desk, working from home, between appointments or traveling, the format makes it simple to fit professional development into the cracks of your day.

A Growing Library Built for Today’s Mortgage Professionals

At launch, Arch MI offers eight on‑demand income‑related Micro Learning lessons. But the vision is much bigger. Ultimately, the Micro Learning Library will include 30 or more Micro Learning lessons, with many more coming throughout the year.

With guidelines evolving and tax situations varying widely from borrower to borrower, these quick lessons are also easier to update, ensuring the content you rely on is consistently current.

Mortgage professionals want fast, focused training — and Arch MI’s Micro Learning Library delivers. Whether you’re refreshing your knowledge or tackling a unique income scenario, this new option helps you work smarter in 20 minutes or less..
