AllRegs and FICO, the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, introduced the FICO National Certification program in March 2010. The training program is designed to recognize individuals who have a strong understanding of FICO® scores and how the FICO® score impacts both the lender and the consumer.

In order to receive this certification, candidates must agree to a code of ethics and successfully complete three one-hour online training courses delivered by AllRegs Academy: Exploring FICO Scores, Analyzing the Credit Report, and Communicating Credit Information. Certified FICO® Professionals, based on FICO® scores and other credit and lending criteria, will understand how FICO® scores are created, the categories and data utilized in the credit report and the impact of FICO® scores on consumers.

“We are proud to acknowledge these graduates of the Certified FICO® Professional (FICO Pro) program,” said Dan Thoms, executive vice president of AllRegs. “This certification provides a knowledge benchmark for individuals who assess credit risk and how that risk impacts their company and customers. AllRegs congratulates those who have attained their FICO Pro certification.”

Registration in the training program includes access to all three required courses. FICO Pro certification candidates have 12 months to complete the program from the date of enrollment.
