.You must inform the Coiunselor of which Program you are doing, prior to starting the counseling Session. The forms and Requisites are different and a a HUD Certificate will not be good for a Private or viceverse.

Counselor will emit an Official Certificate either from HUD or the Lender, certifying that you have competed the process and that you understand what you are doing. There is no obligation to do the Mortgage.
