New Updates to the Online Review Course
for the CRCM Exam

Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM) certification from the American Bankers association is growing in demand with a record-setting 807 people sitting in for the exam in 2013.

The Online Review Course for the CRCM is
a structured way to prepare for the exam and
provides 30 of the required 80 hours of Institute
of Certified Bankers (ICB)-approved training. The
course’s weekly webinars have been updated
to address January’s revised Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB) regulations, which
include changes with the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act (RESPA), Equal Credit Opportu-
nity Act (ECOA), and Truth in Lending Act (TILA).
The sample CRCM Exam will also be reviewed
and updated to address those same regulations.
They will also be part of the 2014 exams.

The Reference Guide to Regulatory Compliance, which is the study companion to the course, is now available as an eBook in addition to the printed format. Sign up at www.aba. com/Training/Training/ILT/Pages/OLC_CRCM_ recorded.aspx.
