Update
The EFSBS certification program has 870 participants at last count.  These examiners work at 37 agencies in 35 states.
 
Remember, if you complete the CSBS technical courses: Certified Operations Examiner School, Credit Evaluation School, Trust Examiner School, you qualify for the COE, CCE, CTE designations, respectively (application must be submitted and attested to by your supervisor).  Completing the MSB online course qualifies you for the CMBE designation and the Residential Mortgage Examiner School qualifies you for CME status.  And the first year fee of $95 ($75 certification fee and $20 application fee) is waived.  In all cases one year in your current position is required and there may be a examination participation requirement as well.
 
Please visit the EFSBS Certified Examiner Program website for downloadable forms and more information on qualifications.

MSB Certifications Approved - Two Examiners Certified
The Certified Money Service Business Examiner and Senior Money Service Business Examiner designations were approved by the CSBS Certification Committee and the Board of Directors in the spring.
 
The new designations were added to the website and shortly thereafter, Vermont examiners Richard Gorruso and Luke Jandreau submitted their applications for certification.  I am happy to report that both were approved.
 
All examiners who successfully completed the CSBS online course, Money Service Business Examinations, are eligible for this designation.  If you would like to learn more about these certifications, click Professional Development on the CSBS homepage and go to the Examiner Certification site.
