What Students Say about CFT

“I have been a teller for the last three years at One Community Bank and I am looking to explore different areas of banking to see what parts of banking interest me the most. I have co-workers that have taken Principles of Banking as well. As they were going through the class, I saw them become more confident and understanding of a lot of different areas of the bank and they helped explain to me different regulations. I have seen how this class impacts others and look forward to seeing how it helps me in my banking journey!”

“Being able to leverage CFT’s fantastic instructors and courses has ensured that our team members receive up-to-date, relevant learning opportunities when it’s right for them. The Diploma and Certificate programs are motivating to our team members. The well-thought out programs help guide each learner to mastery in that particular area. Our team members appreciate being able to track their progress toward a diploma or certificate, taking courses in a variety of delivery methods when they have the time to invest. Whether a program takes a team member 6 months or 6 years to complete, their pride in the accomplishment is visible, and, as a Bank, we have the confidence that the time invested in their CFT coursework is sharpening skills and enhancing performance.”

I’ve have had the pleasure of being a student with CFT for 6 years and could never have imagined the positive impact and overall experience it would have on my career and personal goals. The structure and wide variety courses have enabled me to continue with my objective of achieving a diploma in my field while being a full-time working professional. While the online courses have been fantastic, for me, the freedom of the self-study delivery option has meant everything; the flexibility with my demanding schedule is invaluable and has shaved years off my original targeted outline. The courses themselves have often been aligned with current strategies I am working on and added valuable input to my approaches. In addition, the numerous certificate and degree options also allow for a sense of periodic accomplishment while working toward a larger goal. These milestones have been extremely beneficial and provide motivation to keep going, especially when life may feel overwhelming. Likewise, the helpful instructors and other contacts are always positive, supportive, and show a genuine interest for you to succeed. In turn, I have also valued the internal network that being a student of CFT has created in my institution. I have the ability to connect and collaborate with colleagues on a different level and become a proctor and mentor for my own employees which is immensely rewarding.
