CLFP Foundation

With 100 new CLFPs this year (and counting!) we applaud the dedication and hard work from all of our candidates working towards their CLFP letters. We celebrate and admire our latest cohort who joined together for the Academy this week to finalize their preparations before the CLFP Exam. We are thankful to US Bank Equipment Finance for hosting, and invite you all to send positive encouragements to the team before they test.

If earning your CLFP letters is a goal for 2026, there is still plenty of time to plan and prepare! We have several classes available, and would love to see you there. To register for an upcoming course, please visit our registration page: https://buff.ly/X7MPBx2
