Testimonials:
"Torrington
Savings Bank was in the early stages of developing a new Strategic Plan. The
Strategic Plan included establishing a Commercial Loan Department. The CFT
Commercial Loan Program provided me an opportunity to brush up on the skills
necessary to build a strong commercial loan portfolio. The participants
ranged from those new to commercial lending to those with two or three years
of experience. The case studies provided an opportunity to understand the
various challenges of Commercial Lending. I highly recommend the CFT program
" - John
E. Janco, President and CEO, Torrington Savings Bank
"The
Commercial Lending School was a comprehensive, interactive, and fun learning
experience. The instructors provided different views in regards to commercial
lending, and their real world experiences were priceless." - Adam Saltsgaver,
