Continuing Education Credits
The ABA National Trust School curriculum has been approved for continuing education credits.
In addition to earning credits, the School can be a component of your preparation for the Institute of Certified Bankers (ICB) Certified Trust & Financial Advisor (CTFA) exam. The exam is offered onsite the last day of the school. Please contact ICB for details or visit the ICB website.
**Please note, the ABA National Trust School and Graduate Trust Schools consistently graduate students with heightened levels of expertise who are recognized as professionals and leaders within the trust industry. This training covers many topics often tested on the CTFA exam. However, the sole purpose of the schools is not CTFA preparation and courses cover valuable content not directly tested on the CTFA exam.
