Course Description
We have asked Lisa, another young person who has now started at University, to share with you
12 things about money, she wishes she was taught at school!
Being an adult and managing your finances can be a struggle for some of us. We all know that we should plan, budget and take care of money and our spending. But how many of us do it? We are supposed to rationalise each purchase and think upfront about whether we can afford something and whether we need the item we want to buy. Or is this purchase just a way of satisfying our infinite wants?
Most of us wish we learned about money before our 20’s so by the time we are 30 we have some savings, investments and we understand how to manage the money.
We wish we didn’t make so many mistakes, didn’t waste hundreds of pounds on useless purchases. We wish they taught us more about money at school," says Lisa.
Financial education helps children learn how to manage their money now and in the future, choose the best financial products and services and protect themselves from fraud and exploitation.
Without high quality financial education, all children and young people are at some risk of having poor financial capability. This risk increases amongst more vulnerable groups, including disabled children and those with a long-term illness, children looked after, young carers and those from low-income households. It is particularly important to ensure that the approach to financial education in schools meets the needs of these and all children and young people."

I like this course especially you get to build financial model from scratch and insert graph, perform financial analysis using ratios and explain them. Also the capital budgeting and power point presentation is great!
By Olive Moses on 6/13/2023
It's a great course with amazing structure. The exercises and practical case studies help to build the skills that are taught through the content. Definitely it's what I was looking for to learn and understand Financial Analysis!
By Joshua Albert on 6/13/2023
I liked this course very much. The videos were all a minute or so, with easy to understand concepts. It's like a crash course in finance and economics in the real world. The key thing is patience, since wealth isn't built in a day.
By Alec Spall on 3/24/2023
fantastic course with a lot of thought put into it, the content itself is underrated and under-discussed. overall it needs more exposure and more younger people to listen to the message
By Abdul on 10/22/2022
It has been great to learn about key terms that has widened my understanding of money in the world we live in. Definitely something that 'MUST' be taught at school, to the masses. Great course!
