The Federal Reserve System's training program for assistant examiners is set forth in Examiner Commissioning Program. Assistant examiners will continue to choose from one of three specialty areas (safety and soundness, consumer affairs, or information technology). The assistant examiner is eligible to be considered for commissioning after completion of three levels of course work including passing two proficiency examinations and demonstrating job-related proficiency to the satisfaction of their Reserve Bank management.
The program provides significant training on internal controls, information technology, risk management, risk-focused examination techniques, and integrated supervision concepts. In addition, the curriculum is designed to enhance the individual's analytical, critical-thinking, and decision making skills.
The course catalog for the curriculum outlines course content, as well as learning objectives for each course. Many courses contain precourse work, which must be completed by the participant before the first day of class. Precourse work is designed to balance the experience level of the participant in each school, thereby enabling instructors to teach from a base level of knowledge.
To some extent, information produced in this catalog is transitional. The matter of waivers and exemptions is addressed in SR 98-26. Please feel free to contact me for further information.
