The California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues and the Richard Myles Johnson (RMJ) Foundation are pleased to announce their Financial Counselor Academy.
Next session begins in January 2025, registration opening soon!
Designed to greatly enhance the self-study Financial Counseling Certification Program (FiCEP) offered by the Credit Union National Association, 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 prep session 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, but will also learn and interact with their cohort throughout the Academy, enhancing their experience and building relationships that will last for years to come.

- FiCEP textbook to be read at the student’s pace prior to webinar viewing
