The Certificate in Financial Studies has been designed to enable individuals to be inspired to meet their lifestyle aspirations.  There is a quite a well known phrase regarding money; ‘Money doesn’t make you happy but it does help’. There is a lot to this saying, there are millions of variables that decide happiness, most of which don’t require money, but enjoying the benefits of money is a significant part of our happiness over a lifetime. 

There is also another less well known saying; ‘You don’t need school to learn about life’ and again there can be a certain amount of truth in that. With that in mind though, there are a plenty of things learnt at school that you will use constantly throughout your life; maths, public speaking, English and finance to name a few. 

Everyone up and down the country will have a bank account for the vast majority of their life, juggling outgoings and incomings, saving for holidays, loaning money, paying off debt etc. That is true across the board, even if you have a hundred billion pounds, you will still have to balance your books and ensure that you don’t spend more than you’re earning.  

That’s what makes Financial Studies so important; it is a life essential and will help you make the most of your money. ISAs, Saver accounts, investments, bonds etc can be a vital way of raising income by making your money work hard.

The Financial Studies Certificate will not only teach you about managing your accounts but will help you manipulate the money markets to your advantage. Financial Studies is about giving you the skills the create the lifestyle you choose: whether you want to learn to live like a king or whether you just want to learn to save, all the information will help you maximise your finances and enjoy the benefits of money.
