Testimonial from a Graduate of the
Program, Christine Chase
Christine Chase |
The Credit Basics Course was very beneficial to my career in the
Credit Industry. It enabled me to reach a higher salary as well
the respect of my peers.
I have been in the Credit Industry for over 18 years and along with
experience, a higher education is a must! You should always refresh your skills
and keep a current updated resume.
The Credit Basic course allowed me to utilize my knowledge and learn new
techniques that pertain to my everyday use of procedures in Credit.
I graduated with honors and then became more involved with the Credit
Institute of Canada. Today I am the President of the Southwestern Ontario
Chapter.
