About the Financial Counselor Academy
Designed to greatly enhance the self-study Financial Counseling Certification Program (FiCEP) offered by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA). This 13-week program uses the CUNA FiCEP Edition 6 textbook as a learning foundation and adds elements to help participants easily grasp and retain counseling concepts and knowledge.
Our engaging and interactive webinars use relevant examples, and our fill-in-the blank study guides and live-exam preparation sessions help reinforce the knowledge you need to pass the exam and effectively perform your counseling duties. Participants will not only engage with the presenters and study guides — they will also learn and interact with their cohort throughout the academy, enhancing their experience and building relationships that will last for years to come.
