How can I get into Credit Counseling?

I am interested to learn on how I can get into credit counseling. I would even be willing to complete classes and take a certification exam. Where do I start?

Update:

I think some people are misreading my question. I do not need credit counseling. I want to be a budget/credit counselor.

    Credit counseling is a term used along with debt negotiation or debt settlement but should not be mixed with them. In credit counseling, you use the services of a professional credit counselor to repay your debt in reduced, monthly payments that you can easily afford.

    Eligible candidates for credit counseling are people who get harassing phone calls from bill collectors, or whose accounts have been handed over to collection agencies. This article details the best way to work with a credit counselor.
