Budget Systems
Worked in credit counseling for eleven years before teaching. Kieran's modules focus on emergency fund strategies without requiring six-figure salaries.
Scenario-Based Learning Framework
You won't spend hours memorizing formulas. Instead, we present situations drawn from Australian households and small businesses — unexpected car repairs, seasonal income fluctuations, competing debt priorities. Each module asks you to make decisions with incomplete information, because that's what real life looks like.
Our data shows participants who complete scenario modules make fewer impulsive purchases within three months. Not a guarantee, just what we've observed.
Adaptive Complexity Progression
Everyone starts at a different point. Some need basic budgeting structure. Others already track expenses but struggle with long-term planning. Our system adjusts difficulty based on your decisions in early exercises — if you're breezing through Week 2 content, we'll challenge you more in Week 3.
This isn't automated AI magic. Instructors review progress weekly and manually adjust pathways. Sometimes tech solutions overcomplicate things.
Peer Review Integration
The most valuable feedback often comes from other participants, not instructors. After you submit budget plans or spending analyses, two classmates review your work anonymously. And you review theirs. It's uncomfortable at first, but seeing how others approach the same problem expands your thinking.
We launched this in 2024 after noticing participants asked better questions in group sessions than one-on-ones.
