Money Management and Avoiding Fuel Debt – A Practical Introduction
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This is an introductory level course aimed at frontline staff with no or very little experience of money management or debt advice. Likewise if you have specialist staff within your organisation that focus on these areas this course won’t be relevant.
National Energy Action with the support of the Department of Energy and Climate Change have funding to deliver a number of FREE introductory level money management and fuel debt training sessions.
This course provides an introductory level of training in money management and budgeting skills, how to deal with personal debt and where to seek assistance.
It is suitable for frontline staff to understand good personal budgeting skills and how to avoid domestic fuel debt.
