Being good with money can seem difficult – but it doesn’t have to. In fact having the skills to manage your finances well can make life much easier, and you don’t even need great maths skills. You just need to understand basic adding and subtracting.
This course will give you all of the skills you need to get on top of your money – and stay there.
You’ll learn how to develop your own personal budget, and how to set up and manage your monthly payments.
You’ll also find out about different types of debt - and how you can manage it. And you’ll learn about your credit score, why it’s important and what can affect it.
So if you’ve ever struggled with your income and outgoings, or you want to make sure you have the skills you need not to then this course might be just what you’re looking for.
