Testimonials from previous Participants:
"I completed the CUDAS programme in early 2011. I found it to be an excellent programme, very educational and most enjoyable. What you learn from the formal presentations is complemented and enhanced by what you learn for your fellow students. During the programme you will learn so much from other Directors and Supervisors who are willing to share their experience that you gain much more than just what you learn from each formal module.
The programme would benefit all Directors and Supervisors."
Catherine Bannon CUA QFA
"The Ryan Academy's CUDA programme was a fantastic opportunity for All Directors /Supervisors to develop the skills necessary to make our credit union better for our members. The lectures and workshops offered as part of the programme were both practical and informative, (and all knowledge learned was put into practice in our credit union).For Corporate Governance training I would highly recommend it to all directors and supervisors!"
Claude Hobbs
"Having recently completed the CUDAS Directors and Supervisors Development Programme for Credit Unions, I found the training very useful and it enhanced my understanding of the statutory obligations. As a result I feel better equipped to fulfil my role as a Director in my Credit Union."
Michael Mc Kenna, Direcotr, Swords & District Credit Union
