WHAT IS THE COURSE ABOUT?

The Diploma in Financial Studies (CeFS) has been designed to provide students the core disciplines of financial capability. Learners are encouraged to become responsible borrowers, sensible savers, and have an appreciation of the need for financial planning throughout their life. Its purpose is to prepare students for further study through the development of the core skills of critical analysis and evaluation, synthesis, verbal communication (through classroom discussion) and written communication.


WHAT DO I NEED TO STUDY THIS SUBJECT?

Five subjects at least Grade 4 including English or Maths

 

What progression does our CeFS qualification offer?

The skills and knowledge developed in CeFS can be extended by taking two further units to form LIBF Level 3 Diploma in Financial Studies (DipFS), or by other options for Further or Higher Education study. CeFS offers maximum 70 UCAS points which can contribute to your university entry.  The transferable skills developed are also valuable for further study in unrelated disciplines and the financial capability content and skills support students in making informed decisions about the value of personal, employment and study options and budgeting whilst studying.
