Level 2 Certificate in Financial Capability and Careers Development (CeFCCD)
For teaching in Wales only.
CeFCCD is for people who are, or who will shortly be, reaching a time of their life when they no longer depend on others for their financial provision.
Students will learn about the practical and legal constraints on the sources and uses of money, ways of organising their money through personal budgeting, how to use suitable bank and building society accounts in an informed way, and the concepts and consequences of overspending and payment default.
The course also provides a valuable insight into a range of career opportunities in financial services. It gives guidance on how students can improve their employability skills.
CeFCCD is regulated in Wales only by Qualifications Wales.
