TESTIMONIAL I was given the opportunity to take on a senior credit management role and it became important that I legitimize my qualifications. I had heard of the Credit Institute of Canada and the CCP certification that they offered. After taking a couple of the Credit Basics courses, I knew I needed to take it all the way to certification. The courses were challenging, well prepared, very accessible, and highly relevant. Working full time and going back to school was a daunting idea, but the staff and instructors at the CIC were always there to help and guide. The online learning environment proved to be the perfect venue and the constant support offered by the staff and instructors at the CIC made it possible to reach my certification goal. - Leigh McGrath, CCP 1 w ww.cr e ditedu.o r g | Pr o v i d i n g e d u cati o n f o r c re d i t a nd f i na nc i a l p ro f e s s i o na l s s i nc e 1 9 2 8 .

TESTIMONIAL I’m a recent graduate from the CCP program. I first learned about the program when I was at the CIC National Credit Conference in 2013. That’s when I became aware of the benefits of the program and how it would open doors for my career. The more I researched the CCP program, the more I learned how many leaders in the Credit Industry have their CCP Designation. The decision to enroll in the program was compelling. The Credit Institute staff were very helpful in guiding me through the enrollment process. After working for many years, getting back into studying seems tough. However, the CCP program is laid out in such a great way that you can keep your full time job and take the self study courses in the evening, and weekends. The knowledge that I gained in the CCP program courses has helped me in my day to day duties at work and in my personal life. I encourage those in the Credit Industry to further educate themselves by enrolling in the CCP Program. You will learn new techniques that will benefit your career tremendously. I’m very thankful I became a Designated Member of the Credit Institute of Canada and I look forward to everything that the Institute has to offer. - Jag Chohan, CCP DID YOU KNOW... DID YOU KNOW...
