MORTON GROVE, IL, November 30, 2004 -
The board of directors of the CLP Foundation, Wayne, Pennsylvania announced six employees of IFC Credit Corporation who have attained the Certified Lease Professional certification.

A candidate who seeks CLP certification must possess a minimum of five years of related industry experience, have acceptable character, ability and reputation, and must adhere to standards of professional conduct defined by the CLP Foundation. Applicants must also pass a rigorous 6-hour examination covering topics in accounting, credit, pricing, leasing law and others.

“IFC is very fortunate to have so many industry veterans on staff, and we’re proud that they’ve continued their professional development and obtained certification”, said Rudy Trebels, President of IFC, and a CLP himself since 1995.

Current employees Brian Cascarano and Gary Trebels have also received their certification.

IFC Credit Corporation has grown from 25 employees to over 100 during the last five years, and the professional capabilities of its employees are one of the company’s strengths. “Our staff is extremely competent, and it gives our customers confidence when we discuss leasing structures, credit availability or other aspects of their financial affairs”, says Trebels.

IFC Credit Corporation is a long-time supporter of the foundation and believes strongly in its mission. “The CLP certification program provides a comprehensive study of equipment leasing, from legal and accounting issues, to marketing and pricing”, states Trebels. “No other organization offers the body of knowledge, along with a requirement to maintain certification."
