Your Learning Journey
We've structured our programme around how people actually learn about money. Each module builds on the last, giving you confidence before moving forward. No rushing, no overwhelming terminology.
Banking Basics
Current accounts, savings, and how banks actually work. The foundation everyone needs but few people properly understand.
Credit & Lending
Credit scores demystified. Mortgages explained. Loans that make sense for your situation, not the bank's targets.
Investment Fundamentals
ISAs, pensions, and basic investment principles. Building long-term security without taking unnecessary risks.
What's Changing in UK Banking
The financial landscape shifted dramatically between 2023 and 2025. Interest rates moved in ways that caught many people off guard. Digital banking expanded faster than most expected.
Understanding these changes matters. They affect your mortgage rates, savings returns, and how you manage daily finances. Our curriculum reflects current realities, not outdated textbook theory.
Open Banking Evolution
Data sharing between banks has created new opportunities. We teach you how to use these tools without compromising security.
Rate Environment
After years of near-zero rates, the landscape changed. Understanding the new environment helps you make better decisions.
Digital-First Services
Traditional branches are closing. Mobile banking is standard. We show you how to navigate this shift confidently.
Regulatory Updates
Consumer protection laws evolved in 2024. Know your rights when dealing with financial institutions.
Sustainable Finance
Green mortgages and ethical banking options are growing. Learn what's genuinely useful versus marketing spin.
Pension Reforms
Auto-enrolment expanded, and workplace schemes changed. Planning for retirement requires current knowledge.
Meet Clyde Pearson
Programme Director
I spent seventeen years working inside retail banks before switching to education. Saw plenty of customers confused by products they'd been sold. That bothered me.
Banking education shouldn't require a finance degree. Most people just need straight answers about mortgages, credit, and savings. That's what we focus on here.
Our autumn 2025 programme runs for six months, with flexible evening sessions designed for working professionals. We cover practical scenarios you'll actually encounter.
