Level 2 Personal Financial Management

Personal Financial Management explores the themes of: managing money and income, setting financial goals, and managing financial risk, at Level 7 of the Financial Capabilities Framework. Successful students will be able to: compare different ways of making payments, describe the consequences of good and bad debt decisions, explain interest payments and investment options, and make informed decisions about personal income and wealth.

This course uses Unit Standards for assessment. Students can gain grades of Achieved, Achieved with Merit and Achieved with Excellence that can contribute to their Level 2 NCEA Certificate endorsement. It is currently not possible to gain a subject endorsement in Personal Financial Management as it is fully internally assessed.

The standards offered in this course may be altered at the discretion of the Head of Department.
