Looking to improve your credit score? Check out these classes offered by Hub partner organization, Tenfold.

Want to understand and learn ways to build credit? A good credit score is essential when applying for a credit card or a loan, but that’s not all! Your credit score demonstrates how you pay back money you have borrowed – and this matters when you’re applying for a new apartment, buying a new home, or when purchasing insurance.

This course is designed to emphasize the importance of having good credit. Attendees will learn how to request and read a credit report, as well as how to correct errors. The class will discuss ways to establish and maintain a good credit rating.

Join experienced professionals at Tenfold for a virtual Good Credit and How to Get It Workshop on Tuesday, March 14, from 6:00— 7:30 PM or Thursday, March 16, from 10:00— 11:30 AM. To register, visit: www.WeAreTenfold.org/Events
