New to the Marketplace?
If you are new agent and have not completed FFM training in prior years, you will need to create a CMS Enterprise Portal account and complete some steps before you can access the training. Click here for a step by step guide.
Our free trainings are available today through the Marketplace Learning Management System (MLMS).
HealthSherpa offers the following training curricula:
- Individual Marketplace Training for New Agents and Brokers
- Individual Marketplace Training for Returning Agents and Brokers
HealthSherpa offers Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for these trainings.
When you complete your training through HealthSherpa, you're also eligible for free continuing education units (CEUs) that qualify toward "Health Line of Authority" requirements in most states. View this list of states offering CEUs through HealthSherpa's training - it will be updated as we add more states!
Any agent or broker can take these free courses.
However, the Marketplace trainings are only valid for FFM certification. State Based Marketplaces (SBM) have their own, independent trainings. Agents pursuing SBM certification should visit the state’s website for directions and training.
How much does FFM certification cost?
HealthSherpa Marketplace Agent and Broker Training courses are available for free to all agents and brokers.
How long does FFM certification take?
Agents complete HealthSherpa Marketplace Agent and Broker Training courses in a few hours. Our training provides free CEUs in addition to FFM certification, so it may take longer than for FFM certification only.
For full directions on how to complete Marketplace agent and broker registration, please visit the CMS CCIIO Resources for Agents and Brokers in the Health Insurance Marketplaces.
