NCUA unveils Learning Management Service for small credit unions

The National Credit Union Administration on Monday launched a new Learning Management Service it says is designed for small credit unions.

The regulator said credit union boards, staff and volunteers can connect more easily to essential training specific to their needs with a new portal provided by NCUA’s Office of Small Credit Union Initiatives.

According to NCUA, the Learning Management Service, available here, gives users access to training courses as well as information beneficial to credit union operations. The service, provided at no cost to credit unions, offers education in five categories:

• How the credit union system works,
  
• How credit unions are governed,
  
• Credit union operations,
  
• Products and services, and
  
• Building community partnerships.
  

The new Learning Management Service requires users to create an account to track their training progress. Users should view this brief tutorial video to learn more about creating an account and the service’s training categories.

NCUA said it plans to take user feedback and questions about the new Learning Management Service in an upcoming #NCUAChat. NCUA said it will announce more details in the near future.

“The service is in its first phase of development. In time, new course materials will be added, so credit unions are encouraged to visit the new service often,” NCUA said in a statement.
