Volunteer Certification Program

Volunteers now have the opportunity to receive credentials recognizing their training and educational efforts on behalf of credit unions through the Volunteer Certification Program.
 
The Certified Credit Union Volunteer designation has two available training tracks to choose from:

* Board of Directors track - includes oversight of entire credit union operation and strategic planning. Specific areas of study cover: safety and soundness; governance; CEO oversight; board operations and development; and strategic planning.

* Supervisory Committee track - explores audits, risk assessments, and related credit union issues. Areas of study focus on: credit union knowledge and committee governance; annual audit requirements; risk assessments and audit plan; internal audits; and board operations and development.
 
Volunteers may choose either a self-study or an on-site training format to earn their certification. Those who prefer the on-site setting may attend the CUNA Volunteer Certification School. The self-study learners have the option to choose their learning activities. Certain previously-earned credits from CUNA coursework may be eligible as transfer credits to apply toward the program.
