Financial Skills That Actually Stick
Practical courses starting autumn 2025 for everyday Australians who want real money confidence
Look, most finance courses feel like someone's reading a textbook at you. Boring terms. Complex theories. Nothing that helps when you're staring at your bank app wondering where the month went.
We've built something different. Small groups. Real scenarios. The kind of learning that changes how you think about money on Tuesday morning, not just during class.
What's Coming This Year
Three programmes starting September through November 2025. Each one runs for eight weeks, meeting twice weekly. Classes are capped at twelve people because that's when actual conversation happens.
Budget Without the Spreadsheet Drama
Forget complex Excel files. You'll learn a system that works with your actual life. Whether you're freelancing with irregular income or managing a household, we'll map out what works for your situation. Plus how to stop those sneaky subscriptions from eating your savings.
Investing for People Who Feel Late
Starting at thirty-five? Forty? Fifty? Good. This isn't for twenty-year-olds with crypto portfolios. We cover super, ETFs, property considerations, and how to catch up without risky moves. Real talk about fees, tax, and what actually matters for Australian investors right now.
Debt Strategy That Makes Sense
Credit cards. HECS. Car loans. That personal loan from 2019. Let's sort it without shame or judgment. You'll build a payoff plan that fits your income, learn when consolidation helps, and understand the psychology of why we overspend. Most people leave this course feeling lighter.
Who's Teaching This Stuff
We picked instructors who've actually lived through messy financial situations. Not just theory people. They've rebuilt credit, navigated divorce finances, started businesses, and made their share of expensive mistakes.
Our Teaching Philosophy
Classes feel more like kitchen table conversations than lectures. Everyone shares their actual numbers and challenges. It's vulnerable, yeah, but that's how you learn.
We use real bank statements (anonymized), actual bills, and the kind of financial dilemmas our participants bring in. No textbook scenarios about hypothetical families.
And if something isn't clicking, we adjust. Had a group last year that needed two extra sessions on mortgage refinancing. So we added them. This isn't a rigid programme.
