Center for Financial Training is located in Farmington CT. CFT offers continuing education to financial professionals across the United States. We offer 16 courses that carry college credit recommendation, so bankers can take our classes and transfer them to the college or university of their choice. In addition, we also offer many other products including on-demand training, live in-person or virtual schools, webinars, and self-paced courses. We recently ran an analysis of college tuition and fees and found on average a college course costs $100 more per credit than our courses, not including additional fees and textbook. As of January 1, 2025, a 3-credit course through CFT is $825 with no additional fees or textbook cost. When your employees complete 16 of CFT’s college credit transferable courses, you will see a savings of over $12,000 and your employees will be well on their way to earning a college degree. If you have a $5,000 tuition reimbursement policy, your employees can complete 6, 3-credit CFT courses per year versus 2.5 courses per year at a college or university.
