Duke of Edinburgh – My Personal Finance Skills

Bronze Award

The My Personal Finance Skills programme is pleased to have partnered with the Duke of Edinburgh Award to offer participants a Bronze Award (skills section) on personal finance skills.

This FREE 13-week programme is open to participants looking for a skill as part of their Bronze Award.

This self-study programme will enable participants to understand and be more competent in various areas of personal finance. Each week will require participants to complete tasks as part of the self-study programme with around 1-hour of work required.

Programme outline

The outline of the programme is as follows:

Participants will submit their work for assessment with a member of the Personal Finance Skills team every 3 weeks so that progress can be checked, and feedback provided. At the end of the 12 weeks, participants will need to complete an evaluation, reflection and feedback to complete the programme, essentially bringing it up to 13 weeks and in line with the Duke of Edinburgh requirements.

Upon completion, a report will be submitted to confirm your participation on the programme.
