Canadian Credit Union Association

The landscape of financial services has undergone significant transformation in recent years, with a shift toward online and digital channels. All CUIC programs provide learners and their credit unions with Digital Credentials. These block-chain backed credentials simplify the process of verifying qualifications, enhance security, and provide member reassurance in a virtual service delivery environment. Digital credentials help learners to promote their achievements and gain recognition for their skills and abilities.

How it works: Learn it. Earn it. Share it.

As learners progress through each level of a CUIC program, they will be awarded with a “micro-credential” badge. Once all levels are complete and the student has graduated, they will be rewarded with a final digital accreditation or designation badge and a print-ready digital certificate.

Value and Benefits of Digital Credentials

  • Instantly shareable online, on email signatures and on social media
