N5 Financial Services students in the Business Department have been learning about different ways to save and borrow and the advantages and disadvantages of each . They have been comparing different financial products currently on the market .
Earlier this month they took part in a Young Enterprise webinar where they listened to industry experts and asked questions of their own about personal finance .
Experts included Martin Lewis , journalists from the Financial Times , representatives from Children in Need and social mobility .
After the Christmas break the class will be completing their own cash budgets , learning about pensions , tax and National Insurance and learning how to interpret payslips !
Keep up the good work everyone .
