The Monlarento distance learning programme makes financial education accessible to young care leavers across Spain, regardless of location or schedule.
Not everyone who needs financial mentorship lives in Madrid or can attend in-person sessions. The distance learning programme was developed specifically to remove that barrier. All modules are accessible via any internet-connected device, including smartphones.
The content is written in plain language, avoiding financial jargon wherever possible. Where technical terms are unavoidable, they are explained clearly. Each module includes practical exercises that apply directly to real situations.
Progress is self-paced. There are no deadlines, no examinations, and no penalties for pausing and returning. The platform is available around the clock.
The distance learning programme is divided into focused modules. Each can be completed independently or as part of a full learning path.
An introduction to personal finance concepts: income, expenses, savings, and the basics of budgeting. This module establishes the foundations for everything that follows and is suitable for complete beginners.
