Personal Finance Skills

Do you want to learn how to manage your money better? From earning some extra money from a side hustle to saving money when you're shopping online or even booking a holiday, we've got your everyday money management skills covered. Our online, self-paced course will teach you essential money management skills with one-on-one feedback from a personal finance and investment expert. How does the course work? The course is fully online, self-paced to fit around existing commitments and can be started any time. Each week includes a short video and a practical (but theoretical!) task, taking around an hour in total. The course material is delivered via your online account on our website and we're on hand to answer any questions. We are a licensed Approved Activity Provider (AAP) for the skills section of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Once you’ve completed the course, we'll complete your personalised assessor’s report and submit this directly on your eDofE account. Don't worry, you'll also receive a copy of the report and a certificate of achievement. What does the course cover? You’ll learn a range of money management skills, including how to: • Be a savvy shopper that gets the best price. • Earn some extra money from a side hustle. • Choose the best bank accounts and credit cards. • Create a budget and set your financial goals. • Buy a property, own a car and what you need to know about your first job. • How to find the best mobile phone handset and contract. • The basics of investing (if you're particularly interested in the investment side of things, we run a separate course on investing).
