The Payments Institute is divided into Fields of Study similar to a graduate program focus area. Each field is designated by a three-letter acronym so you’ll know which class is the best choice for you. Many classes are offered under more than one field, allowing students to get a full view of the topic.
Each field’s curriculum was developed to help students achieve their individual professional education objectives. In addition, course levels are indicated in the name of the class so you’ll know at-a-glance if the session suits your learning objectives.
No matter what your learning or workplace-level, the new Fields of Study help you craft a schedule that meets your specific career goals.

Commencement Exercises
The Payments Institute was an outstanding educational experience for me. It is an excellent program that conveys a tremendous amount of information in a concentrated timeframe and in a setting very conducive to learning. One of my favorite sessions was entitled, “ACH Bits & Bytes." The presenter broke down ACH record formats into clear, connectable pieces which made the information easier to retain and recall. TPI was the perfect springboard in preparing for the AAP exam which I took and passed this fall.
