Head start: bonus weeks

Two weeks before the portal opens, you'll already have the foundational pre-work in hand. By the time Module 1 starts, you're building on ground you've already covered, not starting from scratch.

Here's What's Next

BEFORE WE START

First

MARK YOUR CALENDARS

Sessions run every Tuesday, 2:00-3:00pm ET, starting September 15, 2026. Each session is 60 minutes, and the final week meets Tuesday and Friday. Block the time now so nothing gets in the way.

Second

WATCH YOUR EMAIL INBOX

We'll send your receipt, portal details, and weekly reminders so you always know what's coming. Make sure to whitelist linda@cratoday.com and clear our website domains with your IT department: www.cratoday.com and www.cratodayconnect.com.

Third

START YOUR PRE-WORK

Your foundational pre-work opens two weeks before Module 1, on September 1. Working through it early means you'll walk into the first session building on ground you've already covered.

A Note From Linda

I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE

You just made a decision that will change how you do this work. Over the next ten sessions, we'll build your program on purpose, module by module, with the documentation habits and judgment calls that hold up when an examiner asks you to explain your work.

The work you do matters beyond the exam. When your program is strong, capital reaches the people and small businesses in your community who need it. I'll see you in Module 1.

Linda Ezuka

QUESTIONS BEFORE WE START?

Reach out any time. If your bank needs an invoice, a W-9, or a receipt for reimbursement, we'll take care of it.
