Pre-Discharge Debtor Education Course (BC)

Consumers who have already filed for bankruptcy must complete a personal financial management course from an approved provider and receive a Certificate of Debtor Education before their case can be discharged. DMCC has designed this educational course to meet the requirements of the bankruptcy code and give you knowledge that will help you navigate through your day-to-day financial affairs. We hope that the information in this program will broaden your fiscal education so that you may look forward to a bright financial future. DMCC’s Pre-Discharge Debtor Education Course is a self-study course containing 12 separate lessons. The lessons are composed of subjects ranging from budgeting to credit, insurance and mortgages. The program features financial topics encountered on a daily basis and incorporates information to help you better your own finances. There is a small quiz at the end of each lesson to provide you some feedback on your understanding of the information presented and an evaluation survey at the very end of the course to enable you to provide feedback to us. You do not have to pass the tests to complete the course and receive your certificate. However, you must spend at least two hours taking the course to satisfy the bankruptcy code requirements. Debt Management Credit Counseling Corp (“DMCC”) is required to disclose the following information to all debtor students before the debtor student registers for this course.
