How Do Web Courses Work?
A Web course is a self-paced training tool individuals can access through My ACA and a portal on ACA's website. Each purchased Web course provides unlimited access for one individual for a period of 6 months--after which access expires and the course must be purchased again to gain access.

If you are buying a course for individual(s) other than yourself, contact ACA after completing your purchase at memberservices@acainternational.org or 800-269-1607 and press zero, Monday-Friday, 8-5 pm Central time.

About the course:
Re-imagined and redesigned to reflect must-have competencies for collectors! This course introduces proven techniques to help you find your “flow”— consistently performing collection calls with positive results. This course emphasizes the importance of developing keen listening skills while applying professional questioning and negotiation techniques to build rapport with consumers, obtain accurate information, and overcome challenges to achieving payment.
The course aligns with ACA’s FDCPA Essentials for the Accounts Receivable Management Industry to provide a comprehensive training experience for newcomers or a solid review of best practices for experienced professionals.
The course is divided into 2 parts- theory and practice. In Part 1, “The 3 ECSTS,” we establish fundamental communication skills such as developing an assertive and professional voice, learning the Active Listening Technique and how to apply effective questioning strategies. The importance of collector goals and continuous performance improvement aligned with company goals is also emphasized. In Part 2, participants will apply these skills, following the path of a call using the 8 Collection Call Checkpoints.
The course takes approximately 2 hours to complete. Take it all at once or in short modules. User progress is automatically saved. Users will receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of the course.
