Since the program’s inception, over 438 lenders, credit analysts and financial industry professionals from more than 95 institutions in the Midwest have graduated from the Academy
The Advanced Commercial Lending Academy or CLA II (CLA) provides a comprehensive overview of managing the credit risk process covering business development, culture, cash flow analysis, ratio analysis, setting the right loan amount as well as identifying problem accounts and how to work them out. It concludes with a group case study presentation before a panel of Senior Credit Officers.
CLA II Attendees should have experience in understanding financial statements and basic accounting. While not required, having at least 3 years working with commercial clients and a familiarity with analyzing a commercial client would be helpful. Students should bring paper, a pen, highlighter, calculator and a fully charged laptop. A course syllabus will be available upon arrival.
