Why it matters

Veterans and military personnel made a request that we did not leave aside. During the implementation of the «Financial Inclusive Hub» project, we held more than 20 lectures in different cities of Ukraine. And received dozens of similar reviews: «We want more practice». That is why we have created a new format of — interactive online classes in small groups, with a focus on action, result and personal interaction with the lecturer.

What gives «Financial practicum»

• 4–5 online sessions in a group of up to 10 people;
• homework;
• Telegram chat with lecturer where you can get feedback, ask questions, get support;
• name certificate signed by a lecturer, an expert in his field. It confirms the successful mastery of practical knowledge and skills acquired during training and is evidence of readiness to apply them in real life.

Training lasts 1–2 months at a convenient pace (1–2 classes per week).
