Master Trainer 2024-2025 PD

The purpose of the Master Trainer Certification program is for experienced credit building practitioners become credentialed to deliver CBA’s nationally recognized CREDIT AS AN ASSET™ training to financial coaches, counselors, and other professionals who support low-income and underserved communities in building strong credit files. CBA believes that Master Trainers should be actively using the curriculum. CAAA trainings can include anywhere from 1 to 100 number of attendees and may be used as individual onboarding training for financial coaches and counselors or other professionals at your organization. Trainings could also be a contract or paid opportunity to train practitioners/professionals in your community or with CBA. After you have facilitated your training, please log and certify your training by filling out the survey and quiz below. **NEW this year! If you present on a CBA Community Webinar (January - August, 2026) or present at CBA's Summit, you may now submit those details to meet your Training Facilitation Requirement.**

All Master Trainers are required to facilitate at least one CREDIT AS AN ASSET™ training each renewal year. In an effort to help you meet the requirement and be responsive to training requests from your community, this professional development session will focus on ways you can integrate the CREDIT AS AN ASSET™ curriculum either into existing training at your organization or pull out key pieces of the curriculum (specific roadmap section slides, tools, or leading activities). We hope this PD session prepares you as a trainer to lead CREDIT AS AN ASSET™ and meet the Training Facilitation Requirement in 2025.
