MSE’S ‘Academoney’ support discussion thread

My daughter has managed to get herself in debt (again), and is asking the parents for money. I would like her to complete the Academoney course, in the hope that she gets a better understanding of financial management, and is less likely to find herself in debt yet again. So I was wondering how can she verify that she has actually done it?
I know that there is a certificate, but I see pictures of other people's on the web, that can be easily downloaded and amended, is there a screenshot that she can take inside the portal that proves that she has done it ?0 -
Hi All,
Just getting started on the course but Activity 1 in session 1 seems to be missing ...? The one about your money personality. I can't see a button to activate this activity.

I did the course last August, and have just realised that there was a badge. Is it supposed to appear on my account or do I need to upload it somehow?0

I just completed the course and I thought it was excellent. I am still only young and I didn't know much about managing my finances so the course has taught me a huge amount of valuable information. Thank you so much to MoneySavingExpert and The Open University!1
