The course material and areas covered are very important to my job. I would recommend to anyone in Credit Risk to take this course. Credit Risk to this course.

Construction Financing is very risky especially if the required fundamentals are not aligned, and the proper procedures followed. This course was able to bring across all the fundamentals required for construction financing in a simply and understanding way.
