Where would I be able to learn more about investments and pensions?
not necessarily to become an IFA but enough to understand where to invest, save and pensions. 

Other than chat gpt, I’m thinking maybe some courses?

Don't use ChatGPT. Loads of rubbish has been written about investing on the internet, and it has been trained on that data. Also, most content focuses on the USA, which has different taxation and products available.

It's a topic that regularly comes up on this forum. Here's quite a good thread on the topic from quite a few years ago: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4752194

With savings account you can easily compare them and pick the best. But that's not the case for investing as all the predictions come from hope. It also varies depending on how much you invest, how long for and how much time you can afford to check, research etc.

I found Yahoo Finance helpful to play around. Create a test portfolio there and say that you purchased your items on various days in last 5 years and see how it worked out. Just remember that past performance could mean nothing in the future - that's why people diversify - if fund X performed well in last few years and fund Y badly, it can be the other way round..
