Looking for Beginning Compliance Courses

Answered by:

Question:

I have just been nominated compliance officer for a Mtg/Correspondent Lender/Mgt Broker in which I am a new employee. I have over 25 years previous banking experience, including some as a HMDA analyst. As a beginner, what courses will best fit me? I am based in Florida. Are there courses offered in my state that cater to a beginner such as myself?

Answer:

If you are serious, and so is your bank, check out the ABA Compliance School for a well-rounded basic class on the key topics. (Disclaimer: I am a school board member.)

There may be a state-sponsored school program as well. This is a person-to-person school. There are many online classes available. In the BOL Banker Store you will find a variety of training opportunities, from CD training to videos. BOL Learning Connect offers live Webinars; Compliance Coach has an online regulatory university, and there are on-demand classes as well from various vendors.

Welcome, and good luck.
