Training Facilitation Requirement

Module description
The purpose of the Master Trainer Certification program is for experienced credit building practitioners become credentialed to deliver CBA’s nationally recognized CREDIT AS AN ASSET™ training to financial coaches, counselors, and other professionals who support low-income and underserved communities in building strong credit files. CBA believes that Master Trainers should be actively using the curriculum. CAAA trainings can include anywhere from 1 to 100 number of attendees and may be used as individual onboarding training for financial coaches and counselors or other professionals at your organization. Trainings could also be a contract or paid opportunity to train practitioners/professionals in your community or with CBA. After you have facilitated your training, please log and certify your training by filling out the survey and quiz below. **NEW this year! If you present on a CBA Community Webinar (January - August, 2026) or present at CBA's Summit, you may now submit those details to meet your Training Facilitation Requirement.**
