Institute of Credit Management (ICM)
Aims of the course
The world of credit management is an extremely dynamic environment demanding ever-changing skills and knowledge base in areas such as trade, commerce and export credit, as well as related areas such as collections, credit reporting, credit insurance and insolvency practice.
The ICM course is designed for anyone wishing to move into or progress in a credit role. The Certificate and Diploma courses aim to provide a sound understanding of the concepts, processes and techniques that underpin best practice across a range of credit environments. All the subjects are carefully designed to cover topics that are relevant to the credit manager.
