MADISON, Wis. – Credit union professionals can gain a thorough understanding of compliance issues or learn credit union-specific Spanish terms and conversational skills in two CUNA eSchools beginning in May.

Regulatory Compliance eSchool: Introduction runs for 10 sessions from May 7-Aug. 4 and provides an in-depth understanding of mortgage and consumer lending, deposit accounts, and general operations regulations such as the Bank Secrecy Act, Bank Bribery Act, IRS information reporting and withholding requirements, various privacy acts, and more. Additionally, participants will learn about the NCUA and federal share insurance, along with important agency management issues.

Those who are interested may take the Regulatory Compliance Training and Certification Program (RegTraC) Level 2 exams to test their knowledge of the topics and obtain their Credit Union Compliance Expert (CUCE) certification.

Workplace Spanish for Credit Unions eSchool kicks off its first of eight Wednesday sessions on May 7 and runs through June 25. Classes are designed for beginners and cover: Latino culture and your credit union; alphabet, pronunciation, and greetings; days, months, and seasons; times and numbers; member service and credit union terms; checks, identification, and loan applications; developing conversations; and review and application.

An eSchool is a series of interactive classroom sessions that features live, real-time instruction from industry experts via the Internet and a telephone conference call. Students are able to interact with the instructor and other participants via online chats and live discussion. For select offerings, participants may register for specific webinars or the entire series of sessions as an eSchool.
