Hello all I’m currently in Consumer and Small Business banking but have degrees in Banking and Finance. Over 5-6 years of financial services experience and some outside of the industry including hospitality and retail. I’m asking here because I was told by a hiring manager that obtaining a commercial banking certification can greatly enhance my resume when applying for commercial banking positions. The good news is that my employer will pay up to $5k for tuition reimbursement and these qualify.

Before I go through all the muck and work though, have you went through either of the listed programs? How was it and did it help? If there isn’t one listed here, what certs did you do to get where you are today (ie RM, PM, Credit analyst, or other positions within commercial and corporate).

Moodys (Certificate in Commercial Credit)

Corporate Finance Institute (Commercial Banking & Credit Analyst)

American Bankers Association (Certificate in Business and Commercial Lending)
