"I am blown away! The CR3-II course content was all new to me, but I worked hard and put in extra effort because it was important to me and my company. The impact of this program is incredible—I’m already applying what I’ve learned to create our Accounts Receivable training manual and standardize processes. Thank you, CIC, for empowering me!"

"My professional background in finance and credit goes back many years. As my career progressed, I quickly realized that the extremely capable credit managers had one common factor - most of them were enrolled at various levels of the CIC program. From volunteering with the BC Chapter to the President & Dean role capacity, to completing the various programs including the CCP designation, I am more proud to say that I have reached the ultimate goal as a credit and financial management professional here in Canada."

"After 7 years in the same position within the same organization, it was time to challenge myself professionally. I knew I wanted to continue my career in the credit field, but most of the hiring companies were looking for someone with a professional designation. The knowledge that I acquired during my journey in the Certified Credit Professional (CCP) program and the CCP designation have helped me gain an advantage in more ways that I can count."

"I developed strong negotiation and analytical skills while pursuing the Certified Credit Professional (CCP) program at the Credit Institute of Canada. Since graduating, I have continued to engage in professional development, which has also played a large role in my career growth. The Institute provides the ideal forum for me to network with other credit professionals, share ideas and learn from each other."

“When I first got into credit, it was about 5 years ago and a friend of mine said Jenny, you’ve got to get the CCP. I said what is it, how does it make a difference? And she said it’s the edge that it gives you! The difference that I have noticed with having the CCP is incredible; the type of job that you get, the edge that you have, and the experience that it gives you. There is inside information that you can only get at the Credit Institute, as opposed to being a regular Accounts Receivable person. I recommend the CCP to anyone out there working in credit. It really has changed the whole perspective and dynamic of my career. Now I have the CFO of our company asking me for ideas of how we can minimize risk and optimize revenue. I definitely recommend the CCP to get that edge in your career.”

“The Commercial Credit Administration program enhanced my knowledge in Canadian Business Law, Accounting and Credit which proved to be valuable for my employer in Alberta’s current economic climate. Most people crave flexibility and this program provides that for those of us who work full time and have families. The CIC administrative team, alongside their course instructors were very supportive during completion of my program. Becoming a member of the Calgary Chapter has provided valuable networking opportunities!”

The course materials and topics were so relevant and I could apply what I learned immediately at work. Soon after graduating and getting my Certified Credit Professional designation, I was promoted - my company could see that my new skills were a great asset.”

“Credit Management plays a key role in any business and so does the Credit Management Department. I need a team that I can rely on to know how best to manage all clients and situations. There is no doubt that the training received at the Credit Institute has given my team a definite advantage. The skills they bring to their role allow for our department to run with great efficiency and that is of great value to me. I can trust that my staff has the knowledge and ability to make the right decisions – decisions that will ultimately affect our bottom line. Certified Credit Professionals are most definitely assets to our company.”

“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.”

“Construction is at the heart of our economy yet construction credit is still a mystery for many if not most. Credit Institute of Canada held a very informative and helpful training session on this topic. It was a great training opportunity!”
