Our comprehensive independent-study manual, Keys to Success, prepares counselors for certification. It begins by establishing what credit counselors do – they counsel people. Participants, therefore, learn the skills that are essential to all counseling. With these skills in place, counselors are better able to empower their clients toward positive change. Subsequent sections explore credit cards, debt collection, the psychology of spending, and options for resolving debt. Each chapter includes a series of review questions that pertain directly to the content. Now in its fourth edition, Keys to Success comes with three reference appendices: Ethics for the Credit Counselor, Consumer Resources, and Consumer Protection Legislation.
In addition to Keys to Success, this program includes a supplemental booklet, Credit Counseling Today, which explores the role of the credit counselor and the process of debt management.
