ABOUT THIS EVENT

If you take a snapshot of American debt, the photograph is alarming. Recent statistics from the Federal Reserve estimates debt levels of $18,654 per household, not including mortgage debt.

Through this program you will discover ways to help members prevent and resolve financial problems. Understand the underlying causes of financial difficulties for members and examine different ways members can control and monitor expenses. You'll also have the opportunity to earn your Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor (CCUFC) certification. Or you can simply attend the programs to expand your knowledge and skills in financial counseling.

Throughout the schools you will:

Learn the underlying causes of financial difficulties
Discuss best practices for members who are trying to resolve and prevent financial problems
Learn the best ways to communicate during a financial counseling session
Examine different methods members can use to control and monitor expenses
Learn how to design a financial counseling program

Earn national recognition for your financial counseling expertise
At Part I and Part II Schools, testing is provided for those pursuing their Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor (CCUFC) certification. You can review and test at the end of each day or choose to take the exams at a later date at a proctored exam site. To achieve certification, you must successfully complete the exams for both Part I and II of
CUNA Certified Financial Counselor Schools. You may attend Parts I and II in any order; there are no prerequisites. Upon completion of both parts, you will receive a "Certified Financial Counseling" certification.

You may also receive your certification through FiCEP, a new self-study financial counseling certification program. Learn more about FiCEP.
