Many young people are not equipped with the necessary skills about money when they go into the “real world”.

We will cover the following topics: payslips, different documents used by retailers, budgeting, banking, credit, savings, credit cards, changing spending habits, setting financial goals, insurance etc. This half year course will cover half of the topics mentioned.
