Teach Others

Hannah Hill, Lloyds Banking Group employee volunteering programme

  • Teach Others is a two day course where you will learn how to teach a group of learners. During Teach Others you’ll learn how to communicate with your learners, how to assess their levels of financial capability, how to set learning outcomes and how to plan an interactive session to achieve those outcomes.
  • This course has been designed for those who are not qualified teachers, including those working or volunteering in non-teaching positions within Further Education and community workers from charities, housing associations, local authorities and Citizens Advice Bureau. It may not be suitable for qualified teachers.
  • Please note that Teach Others covers teaching methods, theory and practice only. It doesn’t cover financial capability knowledge. You can brush up your knowledge on this by taking Teach Me.
  • If you successfully complete the course, you’ll receive a nationally recognised Open College Network qualification (level 3).

Am I eligible to have 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.

How is the course structured?
