The Level 3 Diploma in Money and Debt Advice demonstrates expertise and detailed knowledge in money and debt advice. Learners need to accumulate at least 37 credits including a minimum of 20 credits from money and debt advice principles units and 10 credits from money and debt advice practice units.
The qualification establishes the level of competency required for roles such as money and debt advice counsellors and helpline advisers.
There is some flexibility because learners can include some credit from the level below (up to 15), for example, a learner could count credit from a Level 2 pass in Debt Prioritisation and Collections Process Advice towards the ICM Level 3 Diploma in Money and Debt Advice. Also, learners could include up to 7 credits from other business, administration and finance qualifications, such as customer service or counselling. The Institute encourages learners to get in touch with the ICM Awarding Body to discuss options and any associated fees.

Level of qualification
The level of final qualification will depend on the level of units that are passed. For example, the ICM Awarding Body will automatically award a Level 3 Diploma in Money and Debt Advice on achievement of at least 37 credits at Level 3. Level 3 achievement demonstrates in-depth knowledge and expertise.
All units are assessed at multiple levels and therefore learners do not need to decide whether to start at Level 2 or Level 3. Level 2 and Level 3 learners study from the same learning materials and results depends on the level of response in the assignment.
