Finance
We all know the importance of financial security and sustainability and the logical thought and pre-planning involved in doing so.
Our Finance workshops teach the basics of everyday budgeting and saving, managing personal finances, as well as practical tasks of opening a bank account, applying for SAAS and a mortgage.
