Known for creating “Expert” users out of credit union client staffers, CU*SOUTH hosted a week of advanced training in the CU*BASE® platform, from February 13th to the 17th.

“We had a full house,” noted CEO Leo Vaulin. “We’re proud that our clients are so enthusiastic about expanding their knowledge of the system.”

CU*SOUTH’s innovative core platform and user-based development “Constantly creates new opportunities for our credit unions to expand,” states Starla Honea, Director of CUSO Development. “It’s not a static system, which makes it exciting to use and learn.”

“Over 20 CU employees attended throughout the week,” Honea continued. “Not only were they training, they were sharing ideas and learning from their peers. The classes were filled with collaborative conversation and real world application to the tools and efficient workflows available with some of the latest built-in features CU*BASE has to offer.”

So popular is the ongoing training offered by CU*SOUTH that the original plan to work with one credit union quickly expanded to several, when the schedule was published.

Thomas Flowers, CEO of Calhoun Liberty Employees Credit Union attended, along with staffers. “My staff learned a lot about the system and enjoyed meeting staffers of other credit unions. I want to stress the importance of this face-to-face type training, and how important it is for the success of the core and our credit unions.”

“As my employees learn more about the system, it makes for a smoother process for our membership.”

More face-to-face training is planned throughout the year, said CU*SOUTH CEO Leo Vaulin “CU*SOUTH’s mission is to provide the support these credit unions need – not only the software, but also the expertise and support to put that software to the best possible use. Together with our client-owners, our CUSO helps credit unions grow!”
