The Commission has developed a Financial Literacy Competency Framework to guide providers as they design and deliver programmes so they cover all the core elements of financial literacy. The framework can also help in evaluating existing programmes.

Free teaching resources for seven unit standards are now available on a range of personal financial management topics such as making wise money decisions, budgeting and tax. They provide an excellent opportunity for developing general numeracy and literacy skills as well as for financial education.

These unit standards can be used for NCEA, tertiary and trade qualifications. To find out more, contact your Industry Training Organisation or local education provider.

These unit standards are also suitable for use in foundation skills programmes, adult and community education and workplace learning and are a great resource to increase literacy and numeracy levels.

These resources have been developed with the support of business and union representatives, tertiary education providers and qualification experts.

The seven resource packs (each pack includes a workbook, study guide and facilitators manual) can be used separately or linked together into a progressive course. (One of the unit standards is level 1, five are level 2, and one is level 3).
