The Wealth Academy

The Wealth Academy primarily develops financial education for teenagers and young adults. Each course identifies its recommended learner group, recognising that age is only one consideration and that knowledge, experience and individual circumstances differ.

Self-directed courses allow learners to work through designated learning at their own pace. They provide a flexible environment in which learners can explore financial ideas, complete activities and reflect on their learning. Learners under 18 require permission from a parent or legal guardian to create an individual account, independently enrol in a course or use designated self-directed learning resources.

Facilitated courses are designed to be supported by a teacher, parent, tutor, mentor, boarding supervisor, youth worker, workplace educator or another appropriate facilitator. Facilitation can take place at school, at home, in a workplace, through a community or sporting organisation, or in another appropriate learning environment.

Course structures vary, but learning may include articles, audio, video, Financial Life Stories, scenarios, activities, different perspectives, reflection, knowledge checks and practical action planning. The emphasis is on active learning and decision-making rather than simply reading information and completing a quiz.

Learning time varies according to the course and the depth of engagement of the learner. Each course description provides an approximate learning time. Learners can work at their own pace where the course format allows.

No. Learners are not required to disclose personal or family financial information as part of ordinary learning activities. Where an activity involves financial circumstances, learners may use hypothetical examples or private reflection where appropriate.

New and updated courses will be progressively released as this work is completed.
