About the Programme

The Barbados Co-operative & Credit Union League Ltd. offers a unique collection of seminars, workshops and customized  training solutions to its members, clients and the general public.  Our clients can choose from a range of one-day, two-day, six-week or twelve-week interventions.  Under our customized training solutions, our clients can have any intervention specially ’tailor-made’ to satisfy their specific needs.

Registration Procedures

There are a number of methods by which participants may register for seminars/courses.  We recommend that registration be done via one of the following methods:

  1. Telephone: 429-7075  -  Weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

  2. Fax: 436-5848  

  3. Online from each courses page.

  4. E-mail:  training@barbadoscoopleague.org

Whatever the method, detailed information such as participant’s name, a contact number and the name of your credit union/co-operative must be supplied.  It is critical that a registration be made on behalf of each participant in the event that there is a change in  arrangements.  It is the responsibility of participants to confirm course dates, times and venues when in doubt.

Open Training Policy 

Our training programmes are open to private individuals (currently not Co-operators) who may find our seminars/workshops of some use.  Kindly contact the office for further details.

 Cancellation Policy

The Training & Education department should be notified of any cancellations by telephone or e-mail (request acknowledgement status) no less than one (1) working day prior to the scheduled  date of the training.  The League reserves the right to cancel or reschedule seminars/workshops/courses that are under-subscribed.  Where a course is over-subscribed, we will endeavour to offer the training at a future date.


 Attendance Administration

Where a participant is registered for a seminar/workshop and does not show without prior notice, this presents considerable challenges for us in terms of administration and catering.  We urge you to give reasonable notice if you are unable to attend a session for which you are registered.

 Training Times

All day training sessions commence at 9:00 a.m. and usually conclude at 4:00 p.m.  One hour is allotted for lunch and the AM refreshment break will be indicated in the course material.  The PM break will also be indicated but may be open in the interest of time at the facilitator’s discretion.

Training Venues 

Based on the fact that the League does not have its own training facility, arrangements have been made at various venues to accommodate training.  Notification of the training venue will be provided in advance of training and upon registration.  Where there is a change in arrangements, participants will be contacted (according to their registration) and informed of the new arrangements.   In the event of a change in venue, the League cannot be held responsible in circumstances where participants have not been  registered and were therefore not notified.

Training Methodology

The training methods used in our training interventions are practical and highly interactive.  Participants are encouraged to share their views and experiences with the group.  Some sessions may include the use of videos, role-play, short case studies, small group sessions, practical demonstrations and presentations.

Customized Training

The League offers customized training for its members and clients on a request basis.  In the event that this is required, the  League will undertake all administrative duties relating to the training in consultation with members/clients.  The League also provides assistance to members in the area of consulting, management and HR related areas that may be identified from time to time. 

Call-out Courses

The following courses are not scheduled for 2005 .  However, if a request is made to run one of these courses we will make the necessary arrangements.  If you have a special interest and it is not listed here, ask us about it and perhaps we can make it available to you.
