This qualification was developed in response to identified need by Colleges to provide a bite-sized qualification which increases knowledge and awareness of money management for young people. This fits in with the clear government agenda, therefore the qualification has been developed in line with the UK Strategy for Financial Wellbeing, specifically the 'Financial Foundations’ theme aiming for the target of 2 million more children and young people getting a meaningful financial education by 2030.

Development of the qualification was undertaken in collaboration with The Money Charity whose website can be found at https://themoneycharity.org.uk/

For over 25 years, The Money Charity has been the UK’s Financial Capability charity whose vision is that everyone achieves Financial Wellbeing by managing their money well.

This is a fully resourced qualification; assessment workbooks and teaching resources are included.
