The achievement of passing the CLFP exam indicates to us that these individuals possess a comprehensive understanding of the industry’s major subject matter areas and therefore an awareness of the segments of the business that exist beyond the myopic realm of their particular expertise. Our associates also found that attending the Academy for Lease and Finance Professionals provided them with a comprehensive review of the body of knowledge. They felt confident sitting for the exam the following day and successfully passed.”
