Becoming a Credit Counselor

Video Transcript

"You want to help people with their credit. You want to become a certified trainer. Hi, my name is Carrie Kukuda and I'm going to tell you how to go about doing that. You want to be certified as a credit counseling trainer. You want to get in to a certified credit training program, through NFCC which is the National Foundation of Credit Counseling. If you'd like to know the website it's www.nfcc.org. The next step I would suggest is to look in to your local colleges and look in to some classes that will enhance your skill in the field. And those classes I would suggest would be accounting, coaching and mentoring. Then I would look in to CCA which is the Credit Counseling Association and get licensed. That will help you with your job placement. And then when you get on the road to that I would suggest to just go out and hit the streets and look for on line, in your paper and any financial institution that may be hiring a certified credit counselor. Good luck to you. Again, my name is Carrie Kukuda and our topic today was becoming a credit counselor. Thank you."
