To achieve a CICM Qualification, we have a few options when it comes to studying and helping Credit Management and Debt Collections professionals to remain flexible whilst they achieve the next big milestone in their career.
Virtual Classes
Virtual Classes are the most effective and popular study method among Credit Management and Debt Collections professionals that are looking to work towards achieving a Qualification. You enrol onto a course where you work towards the completion of a unit. You will complete several units to earn a certificate or a diploma depending on your Qualification pathway.
Funded Study
You may find yourself in a position where you are eligible to have CICM Qualifications entirely funded for you. Explore these options below.
Learning Support Service
The Learning Support Service includes a tutor-supported credit management course which is limited to 120 minutes of tutor support, provided via email and telephone. If you don't want the level of interaction that Virtual Classes can provide you, this is your preferred study method.
