This course is a clear and thorough introduction to the key concepts, terminology, and processes involved in credit and lending.

Learners will walk away with a clear understanding of their job and how their specific role fits into the bank’s overall profitability goals.
Bank Supervisor School
It's Time to Lead Intentionally.

As a manager or supervisor, you must have the attitude, aptitude, skill-set, confidence, persistence, and commitment to excel in this multi-tasking, challenging role. This training will help take your expertise to a new level as you learn how to collaborate and coach your employees to excel on the job.

This school is a “sequel” to the Commercial Lending School and is best taken after completion of that course, though it is not a prerequisite.

It also includes a case study created specifically for this class that will help the learners to apply the concepts presented.
