CENTER FOR FINANCIAL TRAINING AND EDUCATION ALLIANCE
DIPLOMA AND CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS, GENERAL INFORMATION, UPDATES AND CHANGES
The financial services industry encompasses a variety of career possibilities. CFTEA offers both its own diplomas and certificates and the American Bankers Association’s diplomas and certificates. The combined series of programs offers classes of education and/or training in most of the career fields available in financial services. Many CFTEA diplomas and ABA/CFTEA certificates are now the first step in a successful career path for bank employees and strive to provide our students with the competencies and educational background that will prepare them for the financial services career of their choice. Many meet the pre-certification education requirements that qualify a candidate to sit for the certification exam through the Institute of Certified Bankers (ICB) in their chosen field. A brief description and worksheet for each diploma offered by CFTEA, including ABA programs, is available at the Diplomas and Certificates dropdown boxes on our website: WWW.CFTEA.ORG. General Information as well as updates and changes are listed below. Please take a look at the information below as some sections may affect a diploma or certificate you choose to pursue.
AMERICAN BANKERS ASSOCIATION: The American Bankers Association (ABA) is a continuing education curriculum for the financial services industry. Many of CFTEA’s classes are products of the American Bankers Association. ABA provides banking specific educational programs and products and is CFTEA’s first option in many banking-related classes. Any class or training program provided solely by ABA will show an ABA logo beside the program name on each diploma/certificate worksheet. The Center for Financial Training and Education Alliance is a Local ABA Training Provider.

CFTEA maintains records of classes and a transcript for each CFTEA student under the student’s name and the last four digits of his/her social security number. If at any time we were not provided with the correct last four digits of the student’s social security number when in receipt of an enrollment into a class a new record may be established and records for this student may not be complete in one file.
For this and other reasons, please do not assume the CFTEA office will automatically know when a student has completed all of the requirements for
receipt of a diploma or certificate.

DIPLOMA AND CERTIFICATE UPDATES AND CHANGES
A mission of the Center for Financial Training and Education Alliance is to meet the educational needs of the financial services institutions it serves, and to offer its students the educational tools they may use to succeed in their careers. As educational requirements and necessary knowledge and expertise in the banking industry change, so do the requirements of our diplomas and certificates. As classes become obsolete or revised into new programs our diplomas and certificates must be revised also. As banking is an ever-evolving industry, CFTEA must keep current with its training and educational tools. If you are currently working on a diploma or certificate program please review the program’s worksheet to be sure you know the most recent requirements of the program. If there are changes to the worksheet that will affect your completion of the program please contact the CFTEA office for a review of your completed work and the changes that will affect you. CFTEA is committed to assisting you in the completion of your desired program and we will work with you to the extent that we are able to comply with the program requirements. Each student in this situation will be treated individually and fairly and given every avenue within reason to complete his/her diploma or certificate program. Some notes to keep in mind:
• Normally, a diploma or certificate program that is less than one-half completed will require the completion of any and all new requirements. (Exceptions for valid reasons may be made upon approval of the CFTEA Executive Director.)
• If a class has been completed for a previous version of a diploma or certificate and is no longer a
requirement, it may still be used toward the total requirements of the program.
• A diploma or certificate that is not completed three years after the new diploma or certificate requirements have been announced will need to be completed under the new program requirements. (Exceptions for valid reasons may be made upon approval of the CFTEA Executive Director.)
• We will do our best within reason to work with you – please do not hesitate to call and ask questions
rather than assume potentially incorrect answers. Tammy is our Student Affairs Manager and she will be happy to review your records with you. [email protected], 1-888-366-3242, 207-688-6225.
CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSOCIATE CERTIFICATE & ABA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE CERTIFICATE
The Customer Service Associate Certificate was discontinued by ABA but has been reinstated by CFTEA due to popular demand. ABA replaced this certificate with its new Customer Service Representative Certificate which requires completion of all of the classes required of the Customer Service Associate Certificate except for one, plus classes in critical topics not covered by the shorter certificate. The new certificate addresses the position of Customer Service Representative as the “face” of the banking industry. In this important position, knowledge and expertise in customer-focused service and sales, business ethics and regulatory compliance as well as a knowledge of basic banking fundamentals is critical to the successful CSR. The Customer Service Associate Certificate will continue to be available through CFTEA as well as ABA’s Customer Service Representative Certificate.

CFTEA DIPLOMA AND CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS and GENERAL INFORMATION
While you are reviewing the diplomas and certificates please pay close attention to the requirements. Each program has its own unique structure. Some information to keep in mind:
• If your goal is to achieve a certificate sanctioned by ABA, all of the programs with an ABA logo on the top of the page require the completion of only ABA classes, with the exception of Verbal and Written Communication. CFTEA will award the same diploma/certificate with the use of classes and programs from CFTEA.
• Many ABA certificates may be completed as one self-paced bundled online program. This will be indicated on the worksheet.
• Up to 50% of the required classes for the CFTEA diplomas may be transfer classes from an accredited college or university. Local programs and in-house programs may also be considered. Please see descriptions of transfers, local programs and in-house programs below.
CFTEA DELIVERY FORMATS AND LEGEND: IN-CLASS, SELF-STUDY, WEBCOURSE. ONLINE AND SELF-PACED PROGRAMS: Several classes required on CFTEA diplomas and CFTEA/ABA certificates are available in various learning formats. Some are available only in one format. Current learning formats available
through CFTEA are: classroom delivery , Self-paced online training , instructor-led online training , CFTEA
webcourse , and assisted self-study . Prior to beginning a diploma or certificate, please check the formats of the classes required to assure you will have access to each format required of the diploma/certificate. Each worksheet lists the available format of each class.
GRADES: All classes used toward a diploma or certificate must be completed with a passing grade. A minimum grade
point average of “C” must be earned in order for the diploma to be awarded.
CREDITS: CFTEA diplomas are no longer awarded according to number of credits earned. All diplomas and certificates
are awarded according to the classes required.
TRANSFERS: A Transfer is the use of a class from another educational institution to satisfy a class requirement of a
CFTEA diploma or certificate. All transfers must be approved by the CFTEA office. Please contact the CFTEA office before beginning the transfer process. In order to review a class for transfer, an official transcript from the educational institution showing the class to be reviewed must be sent to the CFTEA office along with a course description of the class from the semester it was taken. Transfers will only be accepted for business or banking classes and only classes with a grade of “C” or better will be accepted for transfer. (Should the class be a pass/fail program only classes evidencing a Passing grade will be reviewed for transfer.) Transcripts are reviewed at a cost of $40.00 per transcript. You may print the Recordkeeping Form at WWW.CFTEA.ORG to begin that process.
LOCAL PROGRAM REVIEW: Several organizations other than educational institutions provide training programs that
may be used as substitutions for some CFTEA requirements. CFTEA will review for transfer any programs that can be evidenced by a certificate of completion, course description, qualifications of the instructor and length of time of the training. Transfer credit fees may apply.
IN-HOUSE PROGRAMS: Many financial institutions provide in-house training using their employees as their trainers.
CFTEA will review for transfer or substitution any programs that can be evidenced by a letter from the financial institution detailing the description of the program, qualifications of the instructor and length of time of the training. Transfer credit fees may apply.
CLASS TITLES: Titles of the classes offered by CFTEA may occasionally be slightly changed, and some classes of
similar titles may be used as substitutions for other classes of the same topic. Please contact the CFTEA office if in doubt as to whether a class with a slightly different title may be used to satisfy the class requirement.
GENERIC CLASS TITLES: Some generic titles are used on several diplomas and certificates. For instance:
ANY STUDENT APPROACHING COMPLETION OF A DIPLOMA OR CERTIFICATE MUST INFORM THE CFTEA OFFICE FOR CONFIRMATION OF COMPLETION 4
ACCOUNTING: The requirements of an “Accounting” class may be satisfied by a General Accounting, Financial
Accounting, Basic Accounting, or a college or university accounting class that covers financial statements and other topics similar to CFTEA’s accounting classes. (See transfer credit section above.)
COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Many college and in-house classes may satisfy the verbal communication skills
and written communication skills requirements. Both verbal and written communication skills requirements may be satisfied with an approved class that covers both, or the classes may be taken and completed individually.
WRITTEN COMMUNICATION and VERBAL COMMUNICATION: For the purposes of CFTEA Diplomas,
the Written Communication and Verbal Communication requirements refer to a class of 1 credit or more. Please check with the CFTEA office before you take either class to be certain of its credit value.
CFTEA TRANSCRIPTS: Transcripts indicating classes completed by a student may be requested at any time by the
student IN WRITING (an email message is satisfactory) and with an accompanying payment of $10.00. In order for a class to be included on a transcript, the request must be made after the end of the semester during which the class was taken.
GRADE REPORTS: A grade report for a completed class may be requested by a student IN WRITING (an email
message is satisfactory) at any time. There is no fee for a grade report of a single class; however, the request will be honored only after CFTEA has received official documentation of the final grade for the class.

CONSUMER BANKING DIPLOMA
NAME:_________________________________________________________________Last Four Digits of SS#______________________ Financial Institution:__________________________________________________________________Tel#___________________________ Email address:_____________________________________________________
Consumer lenders provide service to customers and prospective customers through various credit products and services. Consumer lenders need to understand the consumer lending process from developing and taking loan applications to collection and recovery.
Consumer lenders participate in the bank’s sales and development activities. Because meeting sales objective is a critical responsibility of the position, consumer lenders often identify and follow through with cross-selling opportunities. To be successful, consumer lenders must stay current on all trends, issues and procedures affecting the consumer lending function, especially changing rules and regulations. They also need to develop solid relationship management skills.
This Consumer Lending Diploma reflects a balanced treatment of the knowledge and skill requirements of a typical consumer lender. Complementing consumer-lending coursework are topics in general banking, accounting and credit analysis, and legal and regulatory compliance. Approaches to relationship management and relationship selling are also addressed. In addition, emphasis is placed on practical business skills, such as time management, effective and professional speaking and writing skills.

Mortgage lending is an important function of banks in meeting the needs of their communities. Depending on the institution, mortgage lenders may be involved with many different aspects of the mortgage lending and servicing function. To be successful, mortgage lenders must have a solid understanding of the mortgage lending process, including the methods and procedures used to make loans to individuals for the purchase of a residence, as well as loans to builders and real estate developers.
