To become a Certified Credit Union Board Member, you may choose from two methods of training:

CUNA Credit Union Board Certification School
Board members who prefer the traditional setting will opt for these week-long training sessions. It includes knowledge and discussion sessions, culminating in five (5) certification exams.

CUNA Certified Credit Union Board Member eSchool (recorded)
For board members who prefer to learn on their own, the recorded eSchool allows you to take the sessions at your own pace.

If you are due to recertify your CCUB that is expiring this year, we will automatically extend your recertification deadline for one year to avoid a lapse in your certification. We will notify you as online recertification options become available.

CCUB designations must be renewed every 3 years by attending one of the following events:

• CUNA Credit Union Board Accelerator Virtual Conference
• CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference
• CUNA Governance, Risk Management & Compliance Leadership Conference
• CUNA Credit Union Board Leadership Virtual Roundtable
• CUNA Supervisory Committee & Internal Audit Conference

How long are the exams?

Examinations vary in length depending on the type of learning activity. All examinations are multiple choice and are graded on a pass/fail basis. They are also un-proctored and "open book."

How often do I need to recertify?

Your CCUB certification will need to be renewed every three years.

How long are the sessions?

Each session is approximately 85 minutes.
