Obtaining the training and associated credentials allows your credit union to differentiate itself from other financial institutions, and be more confident in helping members emerge from the challenges of the pandemic and build a stronger financial future.
The cohort-style training consists of 8 tutorial webinars, exam preparation, proctored exam, and program development training - taking place between June and October. Upon completion, participants will receive the Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor (CCUFC) designation. The program is provided in partnership between CUNA's Center for Professional Development (CUNA CPD), CU Difference, and a collaboration with the Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Montana Credit Union Foundations.
