To create a substantive revision of the curriculum for the FDIC’s Loan Analysis School—a two-week instructor-led course offered through the FDIC Corporate University. The purpose of the Loan Analysis School is to prepare pre-commissioned bank examiners to assess the credit quality of a bank’s commercial loan portfolio as part of the risk examination process.

  • Create content outlines for each of the modules within the curriculum
  • Develop detailed interactive lecture notes and multimedia support for instructors
  • Design skill-building activities to engage learners and reinforce learning
  • Create a comprehensive case study to give learners the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills in a real-world situation
