Course Overview | This comprehensive entry level credit analyst training program teaches participants how to efficiently analyze a credit and concisely communicate the risks associated with underwriting a credit transaction. The program includes a combination of pre-work, lectures, group case exercises reflecting actual lending situations (corporate, middle market, or community banking), after-class assignments, and a final capstone case study.
After-class assignments are evaluated by the instructor with written feedback provided to each participant. With these exercises, participants are able to gauge their understanding and practice application of analytic concepts. Through this process, the instructor can assess which participants may require additional attention.
Completion of a final case study is required. Each participant will analyze a complex lending scenario and write an analysis using the bank’s credit format or Paragon Hill’s recommended format. The instructor will review the final case study exercise with a detailed evaluation forwarded to the participants and their supervisors.
