Credit Management

About the Credit Management Certificate

Control of credit policies is essential to the success of any organisation, be it private, public, or not-for-profit. Understanding the nature of credit, acceptable credit risks, what instrument are available, and how credit policy is necessary to a sound sales management strategy is crucial to the healthy operation of any business setup.

Here at learndirect we understand our students need to fit their home study around other commitments. As such, you can take the time you need to complete this credit management skills course. It is recommended to allow at least 1 or 2 hours of study time for each assessment paper, but there are no time pressures.

Who should study this course?

Anyone working in the financial sector, or with an understanding of business operations would draw use from this credit management skills role. However, this course is not limited to experienced professionals. Entrepreneurial teenagers have learnt early on that investments in stock markets can be very profitable. If this is something you would like to learn about, this credit management course could be the first step towards a better understanding of finances.

None of our courses require prior experience or qualifications. To successfully complete this course all you need is a means to access the online study materials and the motivation to finish it.

What happens after the course?

At the end of this distance learning course you will be able to recognise risk, develop a sound financial understanding and be able to sift through extensive research to make a competent risk analysis. You can further your studies with a higher education degree in risk management, or study something complementary such as law. You could even take up a certification in credit risk, or mortgage banking.

Finance careers are among the most lucrative. Whether you stick to the credit management course, or decide to complement it with an additional qualification, there are plenty of options for people interested in this field:

Easy to navigate website and helpful person on the phone. Answered all my questions and phoned back when he said he would. So far so good. Haven’t actually started the studying yet so can’t comment on, content or tutors feedback etc.

Easier than I thought - ask for Laura!

It was easier than I thought it would be - this makes me very happy! Laura was super helpful and easy to talk to about concerns and fee's. Her knowledge of the course content was impressive, there was no "hold the line caller whilst I check". She also listened and gave me great advice before sourcing solutions to help me progress. There was no messing around, within 1.5 hours I had enquired, received two phone calls and signed up. Laura has assured me she'll check in and see how I'm getting on and I believe her. It feels good to have a dedicated course manager that I can contact at any point. Thanks Laura for bringing humour, empathy and encouragement on our call.
