Core Learning Modules

Our curriculum follows a carefully structured approach where each module builds upon previous knowledge. Students progress through three main competency areas, developing both theoretical understanding and practical application skills.

Foundation Banking & Budget Basics
Understanding account types, transaction tracking, and creating your first monthly budget using envelope methods and digital tools. Students learn to categorize expenses and identify spending patterns.

Strategic approaches to debt reduction including avalanche and snowball methods. Building emergency funds and understanding insurance basics. Practical workshops on negotiating payment plans.
Investment Fundamentals & Retirement
Introduction to RRSP, TFSA, and basic investment concepts. Understanding compound interest, risk tolerance assessment, and long-term financial planning for Canadian residents.

Assessment & Progress Tracking

We use multiple evaluation methods to ensure students master each concept before advancing. Assessment combines practical application with knowledge verification.

Monthly Budget Reviews
Students submit actual budget spreadsheets with instructor feedback on categorization, goal-setting, and variance analysis. Real financial data creates authentic learning experiences.
Scenario-Based Challenges
Case studies involving job loss, unexpected expenses, or major purchases. Students develop action plans using course concepts and present solutions to peer groups.
