The Candidate Journey

The Global Credit Certificate syllabus content is delivered through study resources such as eLearning, videos, case studies, practice questions, mock exams and study notes. All resources are available to candidates on a bespoke learning portal.

Candidates independently work through the syllabus, following a recommended study program, then, if they have chosen to do so, they join the classroom or virtual training.

The GCC classroom and virtual training is delivered by industry practitioners who provide practical insights and real-world examples to help candidates master the content. These hands-on sessions delve into key concepts of the syllabus and prepare individuals for the exams.
