AQA Financial Futures

Give your learners financial confidence

AQA Financial Futures: the teaching and learning course unlike any other

What is AQA Financial Futures?

A teaching and learning course that develops practical financial skills needed in everyday life, with learners earning digital certificates from the UK’s most-chosen exam board.

Who is it for?
Learners aged 14–19 years old.

How does it work?

  • On-screen, on-demand course – self-paced with auto-marking and certification.
  • Connects classroom learning to real-world financial decisions across maths, citizenship (directly linked to the Curriculum and Assessment Review), PHSE and careers development, and enrichment benchmarks.
  • Learners work independently – progressing through structured modules.
  • Clear course structure – 6 modules with 12 lessons in each and an assessment at the end of each module.
  • Flexible delivery – bite-sized lesson chunks of 5, 10 and 15 minutes, up to 30 minutes.
  • Clear progress – learners pick up exactly where they left off.
