The Certified Lease & Finance Professional (CLFP) Foundation has scheduled the first five Academies for Lease & Finance Professionals (ALFP) for 2019. The ALFP is a three-day event designed to fully prepare an individual to sit for the CLFP exam assuming that the candidate has read and studied The Certified Lease & Finance Professionals’ Handbook prior to attending the class. During the first two days, all of the required sections of the CLFP exam are covered in-depth and on the third day, the exam is offered, but not mandatory.
The schedule for 2019 as of this press release is:
January 3 – 5th in Scottsdale, AZ hosted by Ascentium Capital
February 7 – 9th in Seattle, WA hosted by Financial Pacific Leasing

In 2018, the CLFP Foundation partnered with nine different equipment finance companies to host the Academies and over 140 equipment finance professionals attended a class.
The CLFP designation identifies an individual as a knowledgeable professional to employers, clients, customers, and peers in the equipment finance industry.
