Easy to Use!

360 Degrees

Sara

Love the fact that this course gives boarders perspectives from fellow boarders, ex-boarders, parents and ABSA. It is a 360 degree view. This course explains the 'why' of financial education. Our boarders need to know the 'why'.

Flexibility

James

Taking the annual option gives me an opportunity to link this with different groups of boarders at different times during the year. I don't have to rush.

Parents

Wendy

I love this, because parents will love it. Their voice needs to be heard by boarders. Parents see the importance so it gives us leverage to introduce it into our program.

Easy Easy Easy

Jack

Appreciate the fact that there are facilitator tips for me to use. I don't have to use them, but they are good to refer to. I love that it is all laid out for me to implement. Easy, easy, easy!

FAQ

  • Can parents use this course with their kids?

    Of course. Parents may need to use it differently, more as an awareness raising piece. The advantage is that it gives a parent an excuse to have a financial conversation with their teenager.

  • Is this course bundled with others?

    Yes. We provide a bundle just for boarding settings, but also bundles that are general in nature. It is cheaper and better all round value to choose this course in a bundle. This is because you have even greater flexibility in designing your own program or choosing topics that meet your needs at any specific time.

  • My staff are not comfortable facilitating these types of courses. What is the solution?

    We have designed these courses, so any responsible adult can facilitate. We provide teaching points in our facilitator tips. We provide visual stimulus material i.e. posters to place around the boarding house, or home. As our courses are not based on mathematical calculations, but rather discussion and conversation, we find that boarding staff, perhaps in pairs, or teachers within the school can easily facilitate. We can also provide in-house training which is worthwhile if you take a long-term view.

  • Is this course for boarders to do themselves?

    No. This course is designed for a facilitator to guide discussion and activities with a group of boarders. We believe this is the best way to 'educate' teenagers.
