The IFS School of Finances Programme in Personal Financial Planning (PPFP) has been praised by debt charities.

Working Links, Credit Action and The Resolution Foundation have all voiced their support for the programme, which looks to teach students about personal finance management.

The course covers five areas, which are, making ends meet, planning ahead, choosing financial products, staying informed about financial matters and keeping track of finances.

Deputy director of Credit Action, Chris Tapp, believes the programme is much needed.

"Credit Action is always on the look out for quality programmes which can have a genuine impact in helping people to manage their finances better. The IFS School of Finances PPFP does that and we are therefore pleased to support it," he said.

The school works closely with the financial services industry and offers education and to professionals across the world.
