Two Bournville College students scooped up regional awards at Birmingham’s Repertory Theatre for their efforts on the Credit Management course. Kate Eales from Tamworth and Matthew Roberts from Erdington both collected an award for their outstanding achievements on Certificate in Credit Management, awarded by the Institute of Credit Management (ICM).
Kate (26) who works as a Legal Administrator at Drive Assist came to Bournville College after a recommendation from her colleagues who had studied there in the past. Despite the travelling distance, Kate made every effort on the course and it paid off. She said: ‘My colleagues had an excellent experience at Bournville in the past, so I had no hesitation about coming here too. I received an award for my business law exam which obtained the highest mark in the region. It is very motivating to have my hard work recognised and makes me want to study even harder.’
Similarly to Kate, 26 year old Matthew has been recognised for his top mark in an accounting exam. Having such excellent results contributed to impressing his employer RWE NPower and securing a promotion to become the Specialist Team Manager (Business Vetting). Matthew reflected: ‘An ICM qualification is a must for anyone working in credit management. It shows to your current or potential employer that you’re serious about upgrading your professional skills.’
Bournville College has an excellent track record in delivering ICM courses and is the only college offering the Certificate in Credit Management Level 3 in Birmingham. This is the third year in which Bournville students have won prestigious awards from ICM. Debbie Filgate, Credit Managmenet Lecturer at Bournville College added: ‘I am thrilled with the success of my students, especially the fact that I now have had prize winners in every cohort of students since I started teaching at Bournville. I find it extremely motivational from a teaching perspective. Such success also gives my new learners something to which they can aspire.’
Bournville College offers hundreds of courses and 20% off tuition fees applies to all courses starting in January. Call in at Bournville College before Friday 15th January to enrol.
