Spurred in part by demand for training to meet evolving regulatory demands, the National Automotive Finance Association is giving company executives and managers who might have missed the opening in-person training module of its Certified Consumer Credit Compliance Professional Program conducted earlier this month another chance to begin the journey.

Interested professionals who want to get on track toward completing the four-module program can join the next scheduled session, which the NAF Association has set for March 31 and April 1 at the Marriott at Legacy Town Center in Plano, Texas.

After the day and a half of classroom-style learning in the Lone Star State for Module No. 1, participants will move onto the 29 self-paced Web-based sessions covering federal and state laws and regulations that govern the auto financing business. Successful testing throughout the program is necessary before progressing in the program.

The certification of Compliance Professional is awarded upon completion of Module No. 4, a live classroom session covering the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

SubPrime Auto Finance News caught up with one of the program instructors — Hudson Cook’s Eric Johnson — as well as some members of the first graduating class who completed the program preceding Used Car Week last November in Las Vegas.

This program is available to the staff of NAF Association member companies at the price of $2,000 per person and non-member companies at $3,000 per person.
