2026 Commercial Lending School

Course Description:  The NASCUS Commercial Lending School is a hybrid program that includes recorded videos, an interactive TEAMs meeting with the instructor, and a 3-day in-person training session.  The program is developed for examiners to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of commercial lending, cashflow analysis, trend identification, and a greater understanding of loan underwriting analysis and loan ratings.  Students will learn from class instruction and various commercial lending case studies.
