In the world of credit, confidence and proficiency are key. Achieving certifications through NACM’s six-level Professional Certification Program enables credit professionals to enhance their expertise and skills, empowering them to reach their highest potential.   The Credit Business Associate (CBA) designation enables credit professionals to master three business-credit related disciplines: Basic Financial Accounting, Financial Statement Analysis 1 and Business Credit Principles. 

Earning NACM’s Credit Business Associate (CBA) designation is a key milestone in your credit career journey, reflecting a strong commitment to learning the ins and outs of credit management whilst aiding your own professional growth.

Earning a designation can be a transformative journey—filled with both challenges and triumphs. Not all credit professionals start out as in credit, so acquiring the right skills is necessary to thrive in the industry. NACM’s Professional Certification Program gives credit professionals rigorous courses of credit education. Whether you’re just coming into the industry or are a long-standing vet, knowledge is an asset. 

NACM’s Professional Certification Program gives members an opportunity to deepen their understanding of different areas of credit management. FCIB’s Certified International Credit Professional (CICP) designation is earned by first completing an intensive 13-week course focusing on global credit and risk management and passing the CICP exam.  

Credit professionals are constantly seeking innovative ways to streamline their processes and build customer relationships, all while aiming to minimize risk while maximizing profit. Certifications earned through NACM’s six-level Professional Certification Program equips credit professionals with the tools to not only achieve these goals but foster their professional and personal development.  

NACM’s Professional Certification Program gives credit professionals a variety of educational courses based on the ins and outs of credit topics. With six levels of certification, credit professionals can jump in where they want to learn.  

Securing a professional designation in credit management not only enhances your expertise but also significantly enriches your career, opening doors to new opportunities and greater recognition in the field. The Certified Business Fellow (CBF) designation, earned after the CBA, is one of the six levels of NACM’s Professional Certification Program. It highlights advanced knowledge and contributions in business credit and demonstrates expertise in business and credit law. 

One of credit professionals’ biggest strengths is the ability to adapt in any situation. This strength translates to multiple avenues in life, especially when it comes to learning something new. NACM’s Professional Certification Program gives credit professionals the opportunity to challenge themselves by learning multiple subjects and different aspects of credit.
