Founded in 1988, the Sri Lanka Institute of Credit Management (SLICM) began as a groundbreaking educational initiative aimed at addressing the needs of the leasing and finance sectors in Sri Lanka. Established under Parliamentary Act No. 07 of 2000, SLICM was created to fill a crucial gap in the market.

Since its inception, SLICM has trained over 3,000 students from more than 100 financial institutions across the country. Our graduates are highly sought after, having been employed in banks, finance companies, leasing firms, and various trading enterprises.

Graduates holding an Advanced Professional Diploma, who complete research methodology and a research report along with gaining two years of relevant practical experience in Credit Management, are eligible to apply for Associate Membership at the Sri Lanka Institute of Credit Management.

Associate Members are entitled to use the designation AICM-SL. In recognition of SLICM’s high educational standards, the Chartered Institute of Credit Management (CICM) in the UK has extended Associate Membership to our Diploma holders with relevant experience in Credit Management who apply for CICM membership.
