Master Trainer 2025-2026 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.**

During this live PD session, trainers learned more about how changes to the credit industry take place. From the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), state and federal legislation, and updates from the Credit Reporting Agencies (CRAs), you’ll gain a better understanding of some important and recent changes to the credit industry, why these matter to your work, and how to stay up to date on changes and evolution in the credit industry. We also shared some program updates including introducing our newest cohort of trainers, some changes we’re making to professional development requirements, and recent updates we made to curriculum materials.

During this live PD session, trainers heard tips for facilitating CREDIT AS AN ASSET™ (CAAA) from three of their peers and also shared answers to these same questions in an open discussion: How do you integrate pieces of CAAA into other trainings you do? What kinds of training do you find yourself integrating CAAA into? What are the parts/sections/slides you consistently find yourself presenting on? Why do you tend to come back to these foundational slides or sections? CBA also shared some program reminders, including changes to MT professional development requirements, CBA's upcoming Summit, and an update on your contact info with CBA to ensure you don't let your certification lapse.
