No need to upgrade your laptop or buy expensive equipment. Our platform runs smoothly on average devices because we believe everyone should have access to quality financial education.

The courses are designed to work whether you're sitting at a desk or checking in during your lunch break on your phone.

Accessibility Features

Our platform includes screen reader support, adjustable text sizes, and high-contrast mode. Captions are available for all video content.

Keyboard navigation works throughout the entire platform, and we regularly test with assistive technologies to make sure everyone can learn comfortably.

Software You Might Need

Most content runs directly in your browser. For some budgeting exercises, you might want spreadsheet software like Excel or Google Sheets (the free version works fine).

PDF reader for downloadable worksheets and templates. Calculator apps can be helpful, though we provide online tools within the courses.
