It's the end of another calendar year! For many community banks, that means it's also the end of another training year. Here are a few helpful tips to close out your year-end training records.

We at Community Banker University want to send a special note of thanks to all our community bank customers that have renewed their subscriptions to our Online Training Plans and Certificate Programs in 2021. We also want to thank those new to our online training in 2021.

If like many banks, your employee training runs from January to December, that means you only have two more months to complete the mandatory training courses that are required by specific regulations.

At Community Banker University, this is the time of year that we evaluate our online course offerings to ensure that we are providing you with timely and relevant learning opportunities.

ICBA’s Online Training Course Catalog and system give employees many opportunities to turn “IDK” into “I know where to find that” or “Let me refresh my memory” or “I’m curious and want to learn more.”

Attention Standard Plan, Custom Plan, and Bank Compliance Bundle Subscribers! Did you know that it’s time to renew your ICBA Community Banker University Online Training Subscription?

Occasionally, we hear from bankers who tell us that a completed course is not moving from the Current Enrollments tab to the Completed Courses tab. To help you and your staff troubleshoot why this might be happening, we’ve compiled a system checklist and more.

Last month, we asked you to complete a short survey to help us better understand how your bank develops and implements staff training. We also wanted a clearer picture of the course structure that best helps you achieve your training goals.

To best support your employees’ learning and development we need your help! Please take this short survey and share how you prefer to assign training and what you think about some recent course modifications that we have made.

Banks must continue to comply with the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act regarding beneficial ownership. So, due to the increase in the number of beneficial ownership findings/violations and the fact that the regulation will not change for some time, now is the time to refresh your new account personnel (both deposits and lending) on the rules.
