How long do the courses take?
Both the finance and mental wellbeing courses are split into three core modules and each comes with a teacher resource pack that contains lesson plans and activities.

We recommend spending 45-60 minutes on each core module and its corresponding activities across three lessons as follows:

5-10 minutes for a starter activity 15-25 minutes for the videos and quizzes. Use the remainder of the lesson for a classroom activity.
What are the differences between the classroom and independent study courses?
All of our courses have two available versions: a classroom version designed for teachers to deliver at the front of a classroom and an independent study version for students who are completing the course independently, at home or in computer rooms.

Both versions of the course contain exactly the same content. However, we have added some rules to the independent study version, so that teachers can have confidence that it has been fully completed. The independent study course has the following features:

1. Enforced lecture order and completion - Students must complete each part of the course before they can move on.

2. Graded quizzes - Students must get 80% or above to progress to the next part of the course.

3. Automatic certification - Students automatically receive a certificate upon completion of the course.

The classroom version is designed to be flexible and does not have these rules built in. This means you can move around the course materials freely and can chose not to complete quizzes or do the course in a different order.
What lesson should I teach your courses in?
Our courses are designed to be taught flexibly so you can fit them into the time and format that works best for you. Below are the most common ways our course is taught:

1. PSHE Lessons - our courses are typically covered during PSHE lessons and are usually baked into the Year 10-13 syllabus by PSHE teachers.

2. Tutor sessions - if you have a weekly tutor or form time then you can follow the lesson plans in the Teacher Resource Pack.

3. Enrichment days - students could cover a course in a half day.

4. Independent study - students can be given access to the materials to complete in their own time and they will be issued with a certificate upon completion of the course.
Can I see my pupils' progress?
Where schools set the course as homework, we recommend that students are required to upload a copy of their completion certificate to your homework platform as evidence of completion.

Completion certificates are issued automatically when a student completes the independent study versions of our courses. If a student erroneously completes the classroom study version at home, then they will not receive the certificate.

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide teachers with administrative privileges on our platform for data protection reasons.

We would also be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about pupil progress, so please reach out to us!
