CREDENTIALING FOR CREDIT PROFESSIONALS

For those who aspire to continue developing as a credit professional, the CAP (Credit Administration Program) and ACAP (Advanced Credit Administration Program) were designed to expand your working knowledge of the various roles associated with business credit.

The CAP and ACAP programs were developed by NACM’s National Education Department. Each program consists of three classes to prepare you for credentialing exams.

Of all the NACM affiliates, Forius has the highest number of credentialed professionals in their membership. They also are one of a few affiliates that offer all six courses in the CAP and ACAP program. 

Fall 2010 classes are scheduled to begin on September 13th.  Please email Lisa Grabau at lgrabau@forius.com for further information.
