The Credit Institute will be piloting an in-class offering of Credit Management through the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) beginning September 2004. The course will be offered this Fall and next Spring. The previous in-class programs were dissolved 2 years ago due to inconsistencies in the different programs, administration and communication challenges between National, Chapters, in-class schools and students. This pilot with NAIT was designed to correct the problems the in-class programs faced in the past and the National Education Committee is looking forward to its assessment next June.
