How you'll learn

The course is taught online and is composed of 18 modules representing the topics of study. Each module consists of:

  • A module introduction video to highlight the key concepts taught.
  • A diagnostic test to help you identify areas where you should focus your studies.
  • 2 to 4 interactive lessons (video/games), each estimated to take 20 to 30 minutes. Each lesson ends with a quiz to help reinforce the concepts reviewed in the lesson.
  • An end of module online exam, to test your mastery of the principles in the module.

Simulation exercise: The simulation assesses the lenders ability to apply what they'd learned by working through a real business lending scenario. You are required to gather data, analyze credit risk and recommend a loan decision and structure, and then compare your decisions and recommendations with those of an expert.

ONLINE TEST ASSESSMENTS

At the end of each module you will be required to complete the "module exam" to test your mastery of the principles in the module. Students must score at least 70% on all 18 tests in order to show the course as successfully completed to earn a passing grade.

If you would like to write a computer-based exam, an additional $75 fee will be required.

Each subsequent paper-based exam attempt at a regular exam centre within Canada cost $250 plus tax. This fee is in addition to any special, computer-based or international fees that may apply. You must provide a minimum of 14 days notice within Canada at a regular exam centre and 4 weeks notice for all other centres. Please note that the date of the exam is not part of any notice period.

†Please note: Access to your online materials will close 2 weeks after successful course completion or course expiry (whichever comes first). This course can be extended by 1 year provided you have not exceeded the attempts allowed for each exam. You can view CSI extension fees here. Your enrolment period can only be extended one time.
