Why Study Personal Finance?

Aimed at increasing young people's financial awareness and economic wellbeing, the Personal Finance Short Course will equip you with knowledge for every day money management.

What will I learn?

• Managing finances

• Income and expenditure

• Planning for the future

• Making financial choices

• International issues

What are the entry requirements?

Because Short Courses are multi-level, the focus is on completing challenges and skills development according to individual ability, rather than attainment at a specific level and so no entry requirements are necessary. 

How will I be assessed?

Learners must present evidence of their activities in an organised portfolio or e-portfolio.

This will contain:

• record of challenges completed, with supporting evidence for each challenge

• recording documents, showing how learners have planned and reviewed their activities

• summary of achievement, highlighting skills development

• personal statement
