Who may attend our conferences and training courses?
Programs are open to the staff of federal and state financial institution regulatory agencies (Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Office of Thrift Supervision, and National Credit Union Administration). Staff members from other regulatory agencies will be accommodated if space is available. The Basic International Banking Self-Study is available for sale to the public.
Registration
Council-member agency staff register through their agency's training headquarters. State financial institution regulatory staff should attempt to register through a Council-member agency (some provide partial financial sponsorship) or through their association of state supervisors. State bank examiners may also register directly with the FFIEC. Foreign applicants should look for registration information in the Federal Reserve System section of this catalogue.
It is suggested that state agencies submit
their training requests during the spring and summer for the following
calendar year. This will be helpful in planning the number of sessions
for each program. Otherwise, availability may be limited.
Tuition
Tuition for 2008 will vary by class size, amount of course materials, number of outside instructors, etc. The tuition rates for attendees from non-member agencies have been established for 2008.
