Introduction

The Credit Risk Management and Negotiation Skills Training course is designed to enhance the competencies of professionals working in credit control, debt recovery, and financial risk management. This training addresses the growing demand for effective credit risk analysis, loan assessment, debt collection, and negotiation skills in today’s dynamic financial environment. With increased regulatory requirements and credit exposure risks, organizations must build strong internal capacities to manage financial losses and ensure customer accountability.

This highly practical program empowers participants to evaluate the creditworthiness of customers, understand key financial indicators, apply credit scoring models, and establish effective credit policies and procedures.
