NAPBS Launches FCRA Certification Program

November 02, 2011 posted by Steve Brownstein

The NAPBS Education committee is proud to announce the FCRA Certification Program, which has been developed to provide a basic knowledge of FCRA regulations. Upon completing 5 one hour webinars and passing the certification exam, a certificate acknowledging completion will be issued.

Webinars

Participants in the FCRA Certification Program will receive online access to the each Webinar. 

The webinars cover the following topics:

Part I: This seminar covers (i) basic FCRA concepts and terminology, such as "consumer report," "consumer reporting agency," "investigative consumer report," "end user," "furnisher," etc. and (ii) some of the limitations on data that can be included in consumer reports.

Part II: This seminar covers the five basic duties of consumer reporting agencies under the FCRA.

Part III: This seminar covers the basic rights and duties of end users, furnishers, resellers and consumers under the FCRA.

Part VI: This seminar covers consumer litigation and regulatory enforcement actions under FCRA.

Part V: This seminar covers the principal state law variants of the FCRA and addresses the interplay between the FCRA and state variants.

FCRA Certification Exam

Upon completion of the Webinars, participants will be eligible to take an online certification exam, which will consist of 50 questions in a multiple choice and true/false format.

Participants who pass the exam (85% or higher) will be entitled to represent that they have been certified by NAPBS as "knowledgeable of the requirements of the FCRA and state law variants applicable to the background screening industry."

Certification is good for two years and can be renewed by taking the exam only. Each individual interested in taking the exam must have an individual log in for the NAPBS Website and must purchase the exam under their own log in.
