International CUDE Designation
The Global Credit Union Development Education (Global DE) program is designed to provide credit union employees and volunteers with a greater understanding of the international credit union system and opportunities for continued engagement.
The International Credit Union Development Educator Designation (ICUDE) is available to DE Program Alumni who meet a certain level of international experience and is offered in partnership with the International DE Programs.
Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions is a strategic partner with the seven CUDE programs around the world in advocating, fostering and growing DE programs and the CUDE/ICUDE designations to credit union peers to seek out greater engagement with our credit union world.
To be eligible to apply for the ICUDE designation, you must complete the four criteria.
