Training
Dealing With Debt Course
“The course has given me confidence to provide reassurance, basic information and signpost for advice. Lots of information that will be of benefit to my clients.” Course Participant
Money worries cause stress that can have debilitating effects – sorting fact from fiction can quickly alleviate stress to enable practical steps to be taken. Participants will develop an understanding of the debt collection process and through this they will be able to reassure and relieve anxiety. They can then confidently signpost or refer to appropriate agencies who can identify strategies to address the debts.
