The CRU (Certified Residential Underwriter) designation elevates your status as a specialist in residential mortgage underwriting. The CRU credential is ideal for professionals in credit and property risk assessment who work in residential mortgage underwriting.

The CRU curriculum enhances your knowledge and skills in legal and regulatory issues, mortgage lending, property risk assessment, and professional ethics.
