"How to help yourself and others out of the debt trap"

It is almost impossible to watch any news programme without hearing a reference to the increasing debt levels that have been incurred by the majority of the population. The easy availability of credit over the late 1990’s and early 2000’s led people to take on bigger debts than at any time throughout history. When interest rates started to rise in 2007, mainly due to the banking crisis in the USA, the reality of debt repayment hit home. People who had previously been able to afford large levels of debt got stuck in a trap.

If you are in debt yourself, there is hope. There is a way out of the financial pressure that you are under.

If you are seeking to help others out of the debt trap, there are key elements that can be learned which will make you effective in helping others.

There is no experience or previous qualifications required for enrolment on this course. It is available to all students, of all academic backgrounds.

What is NCFE

NCFE is the UK's longest established awarding body, recognised as a highly professional and responsive organisation, committed to maintaining excellent customer service and a friendly approach.

NCFE is recognised as an awarding body by the qualification regulators ('regulators') for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The regulators are the Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulator (Ofqual) in England, the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills (DCELLS) in Wales and the Council for Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) in Northern Ireland.

Accreditation by NCFE is a guarantee of quality. It means that a learning programme has been scrutinised and approved by an independent panel of experienced educational professionals and is quality audited biannually by NCFE. Learners successfully completing NCFE accredited programmes receive an externally accredited and nationally recognised NCFE certificate.

The Second Income Series

The Second Income series of courses have been specifically devised to help people who already have work or other commitments of some kind, to identify a way forward towards generating an extra 25% income, or, if you currently do not have any income, to start generating some.

Although it is possible to take these ideas and to generate a full time income, that is not the goal of the programme. Each of these income streams can be followed with just a few hours each week and are flexible enough to be able to be completed at times to suit you. It does not matter if you work shifts or have caring commitments that mean you can not commit the same time each week or each month. As long as you can commit something, you can succeed and increase your income.

If you are currently employed in a business where the future can not be guaranteed, the Second Income series is an ideal safety net. If you start to set up a second stream of income now, you will be in a much stronger position later if redundancy, retirement or unemployment arrives a little sooner than expected.

Are there any additional costs?

The only additional costs on top of your course fees is £9.99 postage.
