TRAINING TAILORED TO A UNIQUE INDUSTRY Depository institutions are different. Depository institutions are highly complex. Their business models are not intuitive and demand an understanding of standard topics from a unique perspective. Success in the industry requires training that mirrors that complexity. Yet, despite the importance of banks and credit unions to the economy, quality, bank-specific training in core topics like credit analysis, valuation, and accounting are rare. No doubt, you ve found generic training unsatisfactory. That s where the SNL Knowledge Center comes in. We know first-hand the specific training and knowledge needed to work in or cover banks.
