Money Management Education & Workshops

Center For Consumer Credit Counseling offers many financial literacy workshops, and we can develop a financial workshop based on needs.

Credit When Credit is Due
Registration is required.  Please contact our office for more information.

This workshop is based on the book Credit When Credit is Due by Paul Strassels.  Credit When Credit is Due is a nationally recognized program.  The course is approximately 3 hours in length.  Once finished, you are a graduate of a financial literacy program.

When you have completed the quizzes in the back of the book, you send your answer sheet to Center For Consumer Credit Counseling. We score it for you, and if you pass we will forward your information to The American Center for Credit Education and they will send you cards allowing your completion of the courses to be placed on your credit report. You will need to send these cards to the three credit reporting agencies for inclusion on your credit report.
