Teach Me

Teach Me is an interactive online course which will improve your own knowledge of money management.

The course focuses on money management knowledge rather than the theory and practice of how to run a workshop or mentor an individual. If you want to learn how to run money management sessions for groups or individuals you could also take Teach Others or Money Mentors.

If you successfully complete the course, you’ll receive a nationally recognised Open College Network qualification (level 3).

Am I eligible for a fully-funded place?

If you work or volunteer for a non-profit or community-based organisation and have a plan for how you want to help others manage their money better, you may be eligible for a fully-funded place.

What does fully-funded mean?

Fully-funded means that the cost of the course is paid for you provided you meet all aspects of the eligibility criteria.

Although these courses are fully-funded, it does not mean that they do not have a value. The Teach Me course has a cost value of £200, and Teach Others and Money Mentors courses have a cost value of £350.

Before you apply, please think carefully about whether you are willing and able to commit to the full course. If you are awarded a fully-funded place and do not attend part of the course or fail to complete your assessment, you will be charged for the full cost of the course in order that we can recoup the costs and offer a fully funded training place to someone else.
