Accreditations and Designations

Credibility.  Promotability.  Portability.  That’s the value of nationally recognized professional designation and accreditation  CUIC^®  programs.  These accreditations and designations, for both employees and board directors, are awarded jointly with our academic partner, Dalhousie University. Dalhousie ensures the academic quality of the courses that comprise our programs; credit union system experts ensure that the content meets the business needs of credit unions.

Currently, credit union employees can earn the following accreditations:

• Accredited Member Service Representative (for MSRs and call centre reps.)
• Accredited Consumer & Residential Mortgage Lender
• Accredited Commercial Loan Administrator
• Accredited Commercial Lender

 Graduates of the:

• General Business Studies Program (GSP), earn the designation, Fellow of the Credit Union Institute of Canada (FCUIC)
• Management Studies Program (MSP), the more senior program, earn the designation Associate of the Credit Union Institute of Canada (ACUIC).

Board directors can become an Accredited Canadian Credit Union Director (ACCUD) by completing the CUDA^® Program, writing a qualifying exam and meeting annual continuing education (CE) requirements. Today, everyone wants to see a mark of professionalism.  Give them one.  Register in the program that moves you in the direction that you want to go.
