The Credit Control Level 5 Training course consists of six structured lectures, followed by an assessment, each addressing a key area of credit control knowledge and professional practice.
The course begins with an introduction to credit control, outlining its purpose, role within organisations, and contribution to financial health. Learners explore how credit control policies align with broader financial management objectives.
Assessing creditworthiness focuses on evaluating customer risk using financial information, credit reports, and internal data. Learners gain awareness of decision-making criteria and the importance of consistency and documentation in credit assessment.
Managing credit accounts examines account set-up, monitoring outstanding balances, setting credit limits, and maintaining accurate records. This module emphasises organisation, communication, and compliance awareness within credit account management.
Collections and debt recovery explore structured, professional approaches to collecting overdue payments. Learners examine communication strategies, escalation processes, and negotiation principles from an awareness perspective, without implying legal enforcement authority.
Advanced credit control strategies examine proactive risk management, dispute handling, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement within credit control functions. Learners explore how data analysis and process refinement support effective outcomes.
Professional development and ethics focus on ethical decision-making, regulatory awareness, customer fairness, and ongoing professional growth within credit control and finance-related roles.
