Level 3 Certificate in Debt Collection

The Level 3 Certificate in Debt Collection demonstrates knowledge and skills in a range of debt collection areas. Learners need to accumulate at least 19 credits including a minimum of 5 credits from debt collection principles units and 7 credits from debt collection practice units.

The certificate qualification establishes the level of competency required for people working in a supporting administrative role.

There is some flexibility because learners can include some credit from the level below (7 credits), for example, a learner could count credit from a Level 2 pass in Debt Collection Negotiations towards the ICM Level 2 Certificate in Debt Collection. Also, learners could include credit from other business, administration and finance qualifications, such as credit management or customer service towards an ICM Certificate (up to 7 credits). 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 Certificate in Debt Collection 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.
