Core modules
Three modules of FT FLIC’s learning materials are already published here on the hub, along with comprehensive guides on how best to use them. They are titled: “How not to run out of money”, “Understanding crypto” and “Getting paid”.
We want these financial literacy educational materials to be as easy to use as possible, so our modules include simple 10–20-minute exercises. So if you lack confidence in financial literacy yourself — all modules contain a glossary of key terms, frequently asked questions and multiple video explainers.
We are imminently publishing our flagship whole school spiral curriculum, which offers a comprehensive introduction to basic finance for every secondary year group. You can explore an overview of the topics covered here. Should you wish to access the detailed materials now, please contact katy.palmer@ftflic.com, who can supply these.
We hope you enjoy using the resources, and we encourage you to share any feedback with our Head of content chantelle.clarke@ftflic.com .
