The certification program was started by a group a leasing professionals who

were members of Western Association of Equipment Leasing, now the United

Association of Equipment Leasing (UAEL).The program grew to the point UAEL relinquished all rights to the program and the CLP Foundation was established as a non-profit corporation.  The Eastern Association of Equipment Lessors, National Association of Equipment

Leasing Brokers, and UAEL now lend their support to the Foundation and the

CLP Program.

 

There are currently 223 Certified Lease Professionals (CLP's); 221 are still active in the leasing industry.

 

The CLP is recognized in our industry as an individual with high ethical

standards who has been tested and passed an exam covering every important

aspect of our industry.

 

For your review, attached is a list of topics covered on the exam and sample

questions to assist you in your studies.  I have also attached an

application for you to complete when you are ready to make the commitment to

becoming a CLP.  The cost of the exam at this time is $550.00.

 

There are several good books to help you with your review in preparation for

the exam.  One of these is the Leasing Professionals' Handbook, which was

written by a group of CLP's.  Each chapter is followed by a group of

questions that quiz you on the materials you have just read and also

questions on related topics not necessarily covered in the chapter.  The

handbook is $54.50 including shipping.  The second book is brand new.  It is

entitled Power Tools for Successful Leasing.  This book was written by Barry

Marks, Esq. and James Johnson, Ph.D. This book is $84.50, including

shipping.  You should also be proficient with either the 17B or 19B

calculators to comfortably complete the problem solving section.

 

If you are interested in either book, please let me know and I'll fax you an

invoice.

 

You also may want to take advantage of our new Mentor Program designed for

prospective CLP's who would like assistance in a few areas to prepare for

the exam.  This is explained more fully on our web site --

www.clpfoundation.org.

 

 You will also find on our site the Body of Knowledge which covers every

topic that will be included in the exam. It too is an excellent review

tool.

 

Please give me a call or E-mail me if you have any further questions.

 

Thank you once again for your interest in the CLP Program.

 

Cindy
