Find your apprenticeship in credit 

It’s National Apprenticeship Week, which is the yearly celebration of all things – you guessed it – apprenticeships. 

In particular, this blog will discuss Apprenticeships in Credit. 

Credit Control Apprenticeships – what are they? 

Credit Control Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to enhance or start your credit career and a way of gaining a CICM Qualification without the costs of going to university.  

Credit Control Qualifications 

An apprenticeship in Credit Control opens the door to a couple of globally recognised Qualifications: 

Level 2 Certificate or Diploma in Credit and Collections.  

Level 3 Diploma in Credit and Collections

Developed by CICM with support from senior credit managers and collections specialists, the Level 2 and Level 3 specialist Apprenticeship Standards are the pathways to becoming professional credit controllers and collectors. Based on real job roles, they cover key knowledge, skills and behaviours. This Trailblazer Apprenticeship initiative ensures the standards meets the needs of the industry.

What are the limitations of an Apprenticeship? 

Apprenticeships aren’t just for new employees and have no age limit.  The UK Government website outlines the requirements of Apprenticeships. 

Last year, we had the pleasure of interviewing Rebecca Parsons who successfully completed her Level 2 Apprenticeship, Rebecca is now working towards her Level 3 qualification, demonstrating  there is no limit to what can be achieved Find out more about Rebecca’s story.
