The Center for Certified
Financiers & Bankers was founded
in 2000 after
the Academy signed a Professional Cooperation
Agreement with the Institute of Certified Bankers (ICB),
affiliated with the
American
Bankers Association (ABA).
The Academy has reached an agreement with the ICB
for implementing the Professional Certificate
titled "Certified
Lender-Business Banker, CLBB" as a first phase. The
examination needed for this phase will be held twice a
year; in May and October.
To properly prepare for the examinations, the Academy
concluded an agreement with the
ICB concerning a series of
training programs which support the candidate in terms
of sound preparation. Participation in any
one of these
programs depends on the candidate's expertise and
know-how which enable them to sit for the
examinations successfully. The candidate may not need to
take all these programs if they are already
well-experienced, or if they
have passed
similar training
program requirements covering the same fields
in the past.
 The Institute of Certified Bankers (ICB), a national
association of certified professionals in the financial
services industry, was created to meet industry needs
for programs that would help banking professionals
improve proficiency. Established in 1990, the Washington, D.C.-based ICB is a
nonprofit, independent corporation sponsored by the
American Bankers Association (ABA).
