CERTIFICATE IN CREDIT UNION MANAGEMENT
This programme is intended to provide not only certification in credit union management to members of the credit union movement in Trinidad and Tobago but also training specific to the credit union industry as a whole.
It specifically targets the credit union movement as a subset of the wider co-operative movement, credit unions being the most successful and visible type of co-operative in Trinidad and Tobago with a membership exceeding 300,000 persons and savings in excess of TT $ 2.5 billion.
The objective of this programme is to provide the student, upon completion, with the necessary skills to function at the middle management level within a credit union. The vision is that holders of this certificate will be able to use it to access job opportunities or promotion within credit unions.
