Open University offers free debt management course

The Open University has launched a new website offering a free debt management course, as well as other advice designed to help people through the recession.

The eight-hour course, entitled ‘Personal finance: Debt and borrowing in its wider context’, aims to help people understand the concept of and trends behind debt, as well as how to get out of it.

The website also offers advice on getting a job and how to fund courses.

A spokesperson for debt management company Gregory Pennington commented: “Debt management is becoming a more important area of knowledge for consumers, as the economic downturn continues to put pressure on people’s finances.

“Courses such as this should help make people more aware of what causes debt, and more people should be able to avoid – or get themselves out of – debt as a result.”
