History and Source of this Curriculum

This curriculum has its roots in the bank lease training program developed by LeaseTek Inc. in 1987. LeaseTek provided origination, administration and accounting software to banks. Because of the LeaseTek principals' leasing expertise, several banks asked if LeaseTek could also educate their people in leasing.

As LeaseTek grew, the curriculum was expanded to provide comprehensive education for all of its employees and their job functions.
