Mandatory Lender training
Below are free training classes for CHFA-approved lenders and their staff. As of February 15, 2009, CHFA required that all staff of our participating lenders who wish to continue originating/processing CHFA loans and who have a CHFA HomeConnectionsm account attend mandatory training.
Regular lender training is held at the Denver CHFA office each month and occasionally in our Grand Junction office. This standard class lasts two hours and fulfills the mandatory training requirement. We require loan officers, and strongly encourage processors or operations staff, to attend this lender training before doing their first CHFA loan.
In order to keep you well-informed about specific CHFA programs, when new programs become available, one-hour webinar training is offered covering the new program. Those classes will not fulfill the mandatory training requirement because they do not cover all CHFA programs. All staff members of CHFA-approved lenders are welcome to attend any webinar; however, some webinars may be geared toward specific lender staff (originators, processors, etc.) and if so, will be noted.
To register for a class, click on the name of the moderator teaching that class to email them your RSVP. Be sure to state the date of the webinar you wish to join. Once you are registered, the moderator will email you your conference codes and important participant information. Please do not call CHFA with your RSVP for any of the webinar classes. Please arrive on time for training as late arrivals will not be given credit for attendance.
And don't forget, we are always adding classes, so check back to see what new opportunities are available!
Monthly Lender Training
This two-hour class is open to all staff of CHFA-approved lenders. We will cover all the program basics of using the CHFA programs. Please attend if you have never originated a CHFA loan or if you’re an experienced CHFA lender needing
updating about our program changes. Attending a CHFA training class is now mandatory in order to originate a CHFA loan and/or to keep (or receive) access to the CHFA HomeConnection system.

Q & A Webinar - everything you’ve always wanted to know about CHFA but were afraid to ask!
This is an open session for all lenders' staff, come with your questions! If you have no specific questions, you’re still welcome to
log on and listen to others’ questions. There is no set agenda other than to answer our lenders’ questions about our programs and processes.
E-Delivery webinars

This 30 minute webinar provides guidance on preparing
your compliance and purchase files for CHFA’s secure
electronic delivery system. It will provide step by step
instructions on creating your e-delivery account,
recommendations for successful submissions, and tips
for trouble shooting.
FirstStep Webinars
In order to originate and reserve a loan under the CHFA FirstStep program, all lenders are required to participate in a
full two-hour lender class and/or a FirstStep Webinar. Our two-hour lender class offered prior to February 2010 did not cover FirstStep program information so attending this webinar will update your training. If you have attended a two-hour lender class
since February 2010, you have received FirstStep training in that class. Lender staff is always welcome to attend any of our webinars
as often as they wish. Once all training requirements are satisfied, HomeConnection access will be updated so that lenders can reserve a
loan under the FirstStep program.
MCC Webinars
In order to originate and reserve a loan under the CHFA Statewide MCC program, all lenders are required
to participate in a full 2 hour lender class and/or a MCC Webinar. Our 2 hour lender class offered prior to July 2009 DID NOT cover
MCC program information so attending this webinar will update your training. If you have attended a 2 hour lender class since July 2009,
you have received MCC training in that class. Lender staff is always
welcome to attend any of our webinars as often as they wish. Once all training requirements are satisfied, HomeConnection access
will be updated so that lenders can reserve a loan under the MCC program.
The following webinars (RISC Scorecard and Targeted Area)
are optional for any lender staff. These webinars will give you a better understanding of CHFA program guidelines and requirements and
will provide helpful information in order to originate more loans more accurately. The
Targeted Area webinar is available as a self-guided tutorial.
