The course, which previously took place over 5 days, is classroom-based and designed to equip learners with the knowledge and skills to implement and apply the debt counselling process. In order for a debt counsellor to be registered with the NCR they must complete this course. On completion of the course learners will be issued with a Certificate of Successful completion where-after they will be able to register with the NCR as a Debt Counsellor.
