The objective of this free online course is to assist special-needs students with the basic foundations of financial freedom. This course will empower participants with the knowledge and tools needed to manage their finances confidently and independently. Teaching them essential topics such as budgeting, savings, banking, understanding credit, taxes, and debt, and planning for future expenses.

Participants will learn how to create and maintain a budget, recognise and avoid financial scams, and set achievable financial goals. With an accurate budget and financial security, participants will be able to cut out unnecessary expenses and save money or stop running up big debts. If you already have debt problems, a budget will show you how much spare cash you have. Personal budgets are usually created to help an individual or a household of people control their spending and achieve their financial goals. Having a budget can help individuals feel more in control of their finances and make it easier for them not to overspend and to save money.

With a strong emphasis on practical application and individualised support, the course aims to foster financial literacy and understanding of everyday life and the responsibilities associated with living costs. This will also equip young adults with special needs to make informed financial decisions on their own and secure their financial well-being, confidence and self-accomplishment. Furthermore, this will also help them build self-esteem and maintain a healthy value of themselves.
