How will we deliver it
This course will be delivered over 13 pre recorded modules, approximately one hour a week for 13 weeks, investing in your future self and wealth. The time also allows for activities, reflection and a quiz at the end of each module.
Each module will be broken down into several videos, so the individual can either do the whole one hour in one go, or break it down over the week. Each new lesson within the module will be released only once the previous one has been watched, meaning that its not possible to skip a section!
Each module will be released once the previous module has been completed.
Each module will have a quiz at the end for engagement and to cement the knowledge.
They'll also have access to a pdf planner for each section, which they can choose to edit online if they can, or print off to make notes, OR, they can simply use a note book.
At the end of each module, once they've completed the quiz, we will notify you to let you know that weeks lesson has been complete and whats coming up in the next module.
We'll also send you a reminder if your child is a little late with picking up the next module. We are on yourside and 100% want your child to succeed at this, so we'll work with you to make sure they complete this important part of their skills section - espcially if this is for the D of E scheme.
Finally, once all of the modules are completed, we will check for completeness that everything has been completed, including the assessments and we'll send our assessors report to the Duke of Edingbugh scheme to confirm they have completed the course and we'll send you a certificate for your child so they can celebrate all the work they've just completed.
Beyond this, we hope they will take these life skills and build the financial wellness and healthy financial habits into their every day life.
Cost of this course is £195
