An updated design, improved content, and personalization enhance the power and benefits of this knowledge and information tool.
Philadelphia, Pa (September 13, 2006)— eMentor® is now five years old and better than ever. Last month RMA launched a new design for its premier online credit risk resource. Its updated design reflects eMentor’s improved content and personalization. In its first four weeks, thousands of subscribers already signed in and are enjoying eMentor’s enhanced power and benefits, including:
-
The Power of Personalization
Now every subscriber can personalize a home page and jump-start their workday with saved searches from Industry Resources and Best Practices. They can customize reports for industry information.
-
Enhanced and Expanded Training Solutions
Existing training programs and study objectives can now be blended with eMentor's newly consolidated Best Practices training resource, which presents the core of RMA's training knowledge in Commercial Lending, Commercial Real Estate, and fundamentals of Corporate Finance. The commercial lending component is provided in English and French.
The Diagnostic Assessment of Lending Skills and Knowledge allows training supervisors to identify training needs and provide immediate remediation via links to appropriate areas in the Best Practices sections of eMentor. Thanks to the personalization of the new eMentor, users can access The Diagnostic Assessment directly from eMentor for a one-stop training solution that optimizes the knowledge and assessment capabilities RMA offers its subscribers.
eCases, electronic case studies delivered in an electronic format with various scenarios for advanced level credit and lending training, will be available in 2007.
