Moving into Corporate Banking/Acquisition financing role from M&A TAS background. Any useful tools for learning

So my background largely entails audit and M&A transaction advisory, focusing on buy-side/sell-side M&A advisory and also financial due diligence. Therefore alot of the work/analysis have been on analyzing transactions from financial perspective of equity investors and really just assisting in simple buy-out deals.

I am considering a move across to a bank doing mainly M&A Loan financing, Project financing, in wide spectrums, including airplane/ship financing etc, really don't seem to have any limitations to the sector.

anyways, coming from a different background, but trying to get into this new role and needing to perform off the bat, I am wondering if there are any useful educational tools/books which focus on this perspective.

alot of the educational tools appear to focus on M&A only.

I am hoping there are educational materials for loan structuring, and credit analysis.

Would be good if anyone in these roles would have any helpful guidance.

Thanks
