School Curriculum and Schedule

The Commercial Lending School curriculum is used by banking schools across the United States.  It delivers in-depth training in all facets of commercial lending, with an emphasis on financial analysis, cash flow versus profit, and loan structure.  Cases emphasizing small and medium-sized companies are featured.  The instruction will be led by a team of senior bankers and consultants.  Case studies are used extensively, and active participation by the students is essential.  The work will require study, documentation, analysis and decision making, often in small teams that will interact intensively with the instructors, both during the day and in the evening.

This popular program includes five days of classroom instruction, student manual and reference guide, continental breakfast, lunches, breaks, and a light supper on Thursday night.  A complimentary welcome dinner will be held for in-residence students arriving on Sunday evening.

Intended Audience

The school appeals to a wide range of students who need intensive and formal lending and credit training.  Recent classes have included junior lenders new to banking, experienced bankers—from non-lending backgrounds—whose careers now focus on commercial lending, and officers and specialists from non-bank organizations who perform lending and credit-type activities.

Admission Requirements

A minimum of three years in banking with at least one year in commercial lending, or related experience.  Final approval of all applications will be determined solely by the Commercial Lending School Admissions Committee.
