“I have absolutely enjoyed every moment of the CLFP course and feel as though the training and the support provided is second to none,” shares Tala Zabeneh. “It teaches and cements many aspects of the commercial finance and leasing industry that many may not know, especially for those that have been in the industry for such a long time like myself. My knowledge has expanded well beyond the work I do day-to-day and I will continue to utilize everything I have learned in my career moving forward.”

Gino Defeo shares, “CLFP has been an excellent addition to the available educational pathways through CAFBA (Commercial & Asset Finance Brokers Association of Australia). It is essential to continue to improve industry knowledge with advanced learning, which will in turn improve industry standards.”
