Bank Director Education Certification

Requirements for Certificate of Completion

The educational program leading to a Certificate of Completion is designed to provide individuals with the basic information they will need to serve as directors of a bank or savings institution, and may facilitate discounts on premiums paid for D&O Insurance.

To fulfill the requirements for a Certificate of Completion, an individual must, during the first calendar year in the program, complete:

• a process that includes participation in a six-hour Core Course presented by AABD Executive Director, David Baris, at a time and place of your choice.

• participation in a six-hour Supplemental Course selected from the Course Guide or pre-approved by IBDE.

(NOTE: IBDE certification is only open to members in good standing of the American Association of Bank Directors.)

Requirements for Certificate of Maintenance

To fulfill the requirements for an annual Certificate of Maintenance, an individual must participate, on an annual basis, in Supplemental Courses which, in the aggregate, represent at least 6 hours of credit. The supplemental course(s) must be selected from the Course Guide or pre-approved by IBDE.

The educational program leading to an annual Certificate of Maintenance is designed to provide individuals with valuable supplemental knowledge they will need to serve as directors following their receipt of a Certificate of Completion.
