credit management staff and the
benefits to the organizations which
employ them.

Institute of Canada is our
commitment to:

Members of the Credit Institute of
Canada have a shared responsibility

with competence and integrity. Credit
and financial professionals provide
an important service to the business
community and make a significant
contribution to the economy. Through
effective credit risk and cash flow
management, they keep the flow of
goods and services moving.

TESTIMONIAL
I was given the opportunity to take on a senior credit
management role and it became important that I legitimize
my qualifications. I had heard of the Credit Institute of
Canada and the CCP certification that they offered. After
taking a couple of the Credit Basics courses, I knew I
needed to take it all the way to certification. The courses
were challenging, well prepared, very accessible, and highly
relevant. Working full time and going back to school was a
daunting idea, but the staff and instructors at the CIC were always there to help and guide. The
online learning environment proved to be the perfect venue and the constant support offered by
the staff and instructors at the CIC made it possible to reach my certification goal.

*Replaces CM1 – Business Communications and EM1 – Micro and Macro Economics 2. CR1 – Credit Management 3. CR3-I – Managing Credit With Information Technology I

5. CR2 – Advanced Credit Management
6. CR3-II – Managing Credit With Information Technology II
7. Financial Accounting – through the University of Winnipeg
8. Corporate Finance – through the University of Winnipeg
We recommend completing the CCP courses in the order listed above. Candidates with no prior knowledge
of basic financial accounting should enrol in the Basic Accounting course (see page 24) before attempting the
CR1 course.
In order to facilitate the transition into the new program, existing students will have the following options available:
1. If you have not yet completed EM1 or CM1, you can • complete the new FB1 course (commencing in September 2015) or
• complete the CM1 or EM1 course(s) with CIC/CGA (Summer 2015 only) or
• complete the equivalent CM1 or EM1 course(s) at a college/university and apply for exemptions
by August 31, 2016
2. If you have not yet attempted the CR3 course, you can:
• complete the CR3 in Summer 2015 or
• complete CR3-I and CR3-II courses (commencing in September 2015)
3. If you have attempted the CR3 course and failed, you can:
• complete CR3-I and CR3-II courses (commencing in September 2015) or
• re-write the exam in the Summer 2015 sessions
Credit Institute of Canada is pleased to announce an affiliation with the University of Winnipeg. This new

TESTIMONIAL
I’m a recent graduate from the CCP program. I first learned
about the program when I was at the CIC National Credit
Conference in 2013. That’s when I became aware of the
benefits of the program and how it would open doors for my
career. The more I researched the CCP program, the more I
learned how many leaders in the Credit Industry have their
CCP Designation. The decision to enroll in the program was
compelling. The Credit Institute staff were very helpful in
guiding me through the enrollment process.
After working for many years, getting back into studying seems tough. However, the CCP program
is laid out in such a great way that you can keep your full time job and take the self study courses
in the evening, and weekends.
The knowledge that I gained in the CCP program courses has helped me in my day to day duties at
work and in my personal life.
I encourage those in the Credit Industry to further educate themselves by enrolling in the CCP
Program. You will learn new techniques that will benefit your career tremendously.
I’m very thankful I became a Designated Member of the Credit Institute of Canada and I look
forward to everything that the Institute has to offer.
