Frequently Asked Questions for 2011

CFT answers the top ten most frequently asked questions from the past year:

1.              Is membership required to take a CFT course or seminar?

CFT is a century old non-profit company and does not have a membership.  CFT courses and seminars are open to everyone.

2.              How does an Online Course work?

Each week you will receive a reading/homework assignment from your instructor via email.  You can login and complete the assignment anytime you wish during that week.  The website message board allows for discussions with your classmates and instructor.

3.              I took classes 15 years ago, do you still have my transcript?

And if we don’t, another CFT office or similar banker education organization probably does

4.              Do CFT courses carry CE credits?

Many of the webinars, and the Annual Compliance School, carry CE credits, but CFT courses in general do not.  While not pre-approved for CE credit, you can still submit your CFT credits to your certification board for consideration.

5.              Does CFT offer courses in my area?

CFT will offer courses and seminars anywhere there is a demand.  If you would like a particular course offered in your area, just let us know.

6.              I took Accounting in college, do I have to take it again for my CFT diploma?

You can use your college credits to meet up to half of the requirements for each diploma or certificate.

7.              Can I take more than one course at a time?

CFT does not limit the number of courses you take at one time, but your company tuition policy may have applicable restrictions.

8.              Does CFT tuition include the book?

CFT Tuition includes the textbook for all courses and seminars, if applicable.

9.              How long does it take to earn a certificate or diploma?

Depending on the number of credits you transfer in, and the number of courses you take at one time, you can complete a certificate in as little as 6 months.  Diplomas typically require a minimum of 12-18 months.

10.           What’s the difference between an online course and self-study course?

An online course requires that you have internet access and an e-mail address.  A self-study course is completed via regular mail and/or fax.  Both formats feature an instructor, however, the online course instructors provide ongoing instruction while the self-study instructors only provide guidance when you are having difficulty.
