NASCUS Education and Training

NASCUS is committed to providing superior, quality training and education to state credit union examiners and state credit union managers and staff. The NASCUS Education Committee knows that strong educational offerings for the state credit union examination force and state credit union managers are key to maintaining the safety and soundness of the credit union system.

The National Institute of State Credit Union Examination (NISCUE), through the generosity of NASCUS Credit Union Advisory Council members, funds training programs specifically for state credit union examiners. For more information on NISCUE click here.
