Financial Foundation Programme

MONEY DECISIONS
you can actually explain

Most people manage money through a mix of habit, intuition, and occasional panic. This programme addresses that directly - building the conceptual framework that makes financial decisions legible, not just executable.

You choose the pace and format. Group sessions for collaborative problem-solving, individual tracks when you need to move differently.

How the programme is structured

Four phases, each building on the last. No module assumes prior financial knowledge.

"Financial literacy is not about knowing the right answers - it is about knowing which questions to ask before committing."

- Dantxel Programme Design Principle

01

Reading the numbers

Budgets, cash flow statements, and basic accounting logic. Not a bookkeeping course - an orientation to what numbers actually describe about a financial situation. You will work through real household and small-business scenarios, not invented textbook examples.

02

Risk and time

Why money now and money later are genuinely different things, and how that affects every saving, borrowing, or spending decision. Includes practical exercises on interest, inflation, and opportunity cost - concepts that are simple once named, but costly when ignored.

Phase 2 of 4
03

Debt, credit, and leverage

A structured look at how borrowing works - when it is a reasonable tool and when it compounds problems. Credit scoring, loan structures, and the mechanics of repayment are covered without moralising about either debt or saving.

Phase 3 of 4
04

Planning under uncertainty

The final phase shifts from understanding to decision-making. Scenario modelling, emergency reserves, pension basics, and the difference between a financial plan and a financial wish. Participants leave with a working personal framework, not a generic template.

Phase 4 of 4

Two formats, one programme

Both tracks cover identical material. The difference is in pacing, interaction, and how much the schedule bends to fit your situation.

Group sessions

Learning alongside others

Cohorts of 8 to 14 participants meet twice weekly for live instruction and structured discussion. Questions from other learners frequently surface things you did not know you needed to ask.

  • Fixed cohort schedule, 8 weeks per phase
  • Live Q&A with instructor after each session
  • Peer discussion boards between meetings
  • Shared case studies with group analysis

About the format

What the sessions actually look like

Sessions run via video call, with shared documents and a working whiteboard for calculations. There is no passive slide presentation - each session involves a problem to work through, a concept to question, or a scenario to pull apart. Recordings are available for 14 days after each live session.

Dantxel has been running these programmes since 2016, which means the material has been tested against real learner confusion, not just academic logic. Modules have been revised several times based on where people actually get stuck - not where the curriculum assumed they would.
