COMMUNITY MONEY ADVICE TRAINING
Training has always been at the heart of our services, with the aim of taking individuals with little or no experience of working with clients, to a place where they have a good understanding of how to assist people with budgeting support and the processes involved in unlocking debt issues.
Our training courses and materials, help individuals gain an in-depth knowledge of the tools available to be able to offer budgeting support & education and to be a trained Debt Adviser, helping clients to find sustainable solutions for presenting problems, in order to help them to become debt free, giving them real hope for the future.
