Your lending responsibilities require you to wear many hats — credit analyst, counselor, master of regulations and compliance, detective, teacher, salesperson, even fortune teller — when members ask, "Are rates going up?" CUNA Consumer Lending eSchool teaches basic concepts in the lending process. You'll gain a strong foundation that helps you build long-term lending relationships with members.

Archived CUNA eSchools enable staff to pick up new skills and keep up with daily responsibilities. Viewing a archived eSchool will enable you to see and hear a presentation, questions of the instructor, and refer to handouts. You need only a computer with an Internet connection and speakers. If you have a computer projection screen, it's easy to provide this training to a whole roomful of staff!

Use our 90- to 120-minute archived eSchools as part of a full day of training by gaining knowledge and ideas at the eSchool, then spend some time discussing how the new information applies to your credit union.

A single session archived eSchool will be made available usually within 48 hours of the live event and a two session archived eSchool will be made available within 48 hours of the conclusion of the second session. By registering for this archived eSchool, you will receive unlimited access until the end date listed above. No access to this archived eSchool is provided after the end date listed above.

This course is beneficial for lending staff who wish to gain an understanding of all the components in the member lending process. The eSchool is also appropriate for staff interested in expanding their lending knowledge for future responsibilities.
