Center for Financial Training | Atlantic and Central States: Guided Self-Study Program

Guided Self-Study Program

Turn Your Living Room Into A Classroom

The Center for Financial Training's Guided Self-Study Program is a newly designed, user-friendly independent study program. You will be required to study on your own, however, you will have a local instructor only a telephone call away. Upon registering for a class you will be mailed a textbook, a syllabus outlining your course, and your first open-book quiz. You will have six months (certain classes allow less than six months) from the starting date to complete your class. The starting date is three business days from the date books and related materials are mailed to you. An advisor at the CFT office will keep in touch with you to provide additional assistance to keep you on schedule. Your exams (two per class) will be proctored by an officer or manager at your financial institution. Upon satisfactory completion of your class, you will, within days, receive your grade and the appropriate credits for the class, which are the same as though you had earned them by attending the class week-to-week.

Guided Self-Study Program Withdrawal Policy

There will be no refunds given after the seven day period. All students who must withdraw after the initial seven day period must still submit a withdrawal letter in order to receive a course grade of "W" rather than a "F".
