HealthSherpa is committed to helping agents and brokers grow and scale their ACA business by providing tools and resources to maximize organization and efficiency. In addition to the fast, accurate quoting, simple shopping, and a full client management system available for free on HealthSherpa for Agents, we're also a CMS approved vendor for the FFM Agent and Broker Training Program.

We offer Marketplace training courses through HealthSherpa's learning management system including:

  • FFM Certification for New Agents and Brokers

  • FFM Certification for Returning Agents and Brokers

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 41 states with additional states on their way.

Any agent or broker can take these free courses.

HealthSherpa Marketplace Agent and Broker Training courses are available for free to all agents and brokers, but are only valid for FFM certification. State-Based Marketplaces (SBMs) have their own, independent trainings and agents pursuing SBM certification will need to visit each state's web site to understand their training instructions.

How to access 2024 FFM certification and free training courses

If you’re a returning agent and ready to complete your training and earn some free CE credits at the same time, here’s what you’ll do:

  • Navigate to the MLMS within your CMS Enterprise Portal.

  • From there, you'll see an option to complete your Marketplace training with HealthSherpa.

  • Click through the HealthSherpa training option, and you'll be redirected to our site. Agents and brokers have to click through their CMS portal to our site for the training to be valid, so make sure you do this step!

  • Once you're on our site, sign up for the training and select the appropriate course.

If you are new to the Marketplace, 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.
