Launch Corporate Finance Courses
ABA is the American Banking Association. ABA provides business banking and commercial lending training through online courses. They offer a combination of self-paced and facilitated courses.
The main course topics that are covered by ABA for commercial banking professionals – and that are covered by CFI – include, analyzing financial statements, as well as general accounting, and several lending specific courses.
Compare this to CFI, where we offer a wide range of professional Wall Street training courses that cover the same topics, and much more.
Our Accounting Fundamentals Course and Reading Financial Statements Course are both very comparable to the ABA training course on general accounting.
Next up is CFI’s Financial Analysis Course, where we cover all the most important ratios and metrics for analyzing the financial health of a business.
ABA offers certifications in commercial banking, while CFI focuses it training more on financial modeling and business valuation.
See all of CFI’s certification courses and decide which one is right for you.
At CFI we are a very career focused institution, and we provide a wide range of courses to help you land a job in commercial banking or lending.
