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 ?

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.

Hi everyone! How are you all getting on?
Well, I completed the course yesterday and received my badge and statement of participation today! It was a great feeling!
Who else has managed to find time to complete it?

Just finished the course today, although I started it ages ago. It's really worthwhile and I would think it would be very useful for my son.

Hi everyone, just letting you know that MoneySavingExpert.com's 'Academoney' course - prepared and written by the Open University - is going bilingual, giving Welsh-language speakers the skills and knowledge they need to master their money, in their choice of Welsh or English.

Just signed up, this is my first post on an MSE forum so if anyone has any tips or suggestions for what challenges etc are good for beginners then please let me know. I am really excited to start my journey of having a better relationship with money.

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?

Assuming this is the correct badge as downloaded from the OU site

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!

I am just starting the course now.  Looking forward to learning and educating myself with life's financial situations.
