Conquer challenges with certifications
Minimizing potential risk is top of mind for B2B credit professionals. Whether that’s the risk of fraud, payment default or bankruptcy. NACM’s Professional Certification Program provides essential knowledge for credit professionals to safeguard against risk and overcome any challenges they encounter.
Jonathan Chandler, CBF, CICP, senior credit analyst at Wonderful Pistachios & Almonds (Lost Hills, CA), earned his Credit Business Fellow (CBF) designation to stay informed and enhance his understanding of the legal aspects of credit, with the long-term goal of pursuing the esteemed Certified Credit Executive (CCE) designation.
The business and credit law courses were incredibly valuable for Chandler. “With the rise in retail bankruptcies and distressed customers in recent years, I often find myself referring back to the resources and knowledge I gained from these courses to navigate challenging situations.”
Chandler’s journey took a bit longer than some, as they focused on finding a healthy balance between work and personal life. “Maintaining that balance can be tough at times, but being a part of a company that genuinely supports me in achieving my goals made all the difference.”
💡Study tips: Pace yourself and create a study guide using everything you’ve learned. “Sometimes, the answer is hidden within the question itself, so read each question carefully and feel free to revisit challenging ones later,” Chandler said. “Most importantly, prepare your mind and body by getting a good night’s sleep and start your day with a nutritious breakfast to stay sharp and focused.”
