For credit professionals, NACM and FCIB’s six Professional Certification Programs are tried-and-true paths to professional development. Regardless of whether you’re new to credit or need a refresher, each certification provides the knowledge and skills bringing you closer to your education goals. 

NACM and FCIB’s six Professional Certification Programs are the essential building blocks of a thriving credit career. Each designation builds on the last, equipping credit professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the business-to-business (B2B) credit landscape with confidence. 

Credit management is a fast-paced career where decisions often need to be made quickly, sometimes in real time, to manage risk, cash flow and customer relationships. But, the trust, knowledge and judgment that drive those decisions are built slowly, over time. Credit professionals hoping to develop those traits and gain instrumental knowledge seek out education through NACM and FCIB’s six-level Professional Certification Program. By doing so, certification holders bring forth an enriched expertise and skill set that helps them stand out in the crowd.  

Credit professionals do more than manage risk and protect their companies’ bottom lines, they often serve as mentors, leaders and changemakers. Today, we celebrate those who not only excel in their own careers but also uplift others along the way. These credit professionals make a lasting impact on the people and organizations around them. We’re proud to recognize Michelle Riepe, CCE, credit support manager at Ben E. Keith Company (Fort Worth, TX), recipient of the GSCFM Student Leader Award from NACM’s National Honors and Awards Program.  

NACM and FCIB’s six-level Professional Certification Program serves as a continual reminder to credit professionals of the importance of growth through education. It encourages them to push boundaries, expand their expertise and elevate their roles in credit management.
