This course will provide you with tools to plan your future, to put you in control of the next phase of your life. In order to plan your future, you need to understand the options available to you, and these can be more extensive than you think. Explore these options which can range from retiring and taking your pension as soon as possible, to changing your current working arrangements for more free time, and many other options in-between.
The training will also address the financial aspects of planning your future; clearly your financial position will impact on what choices you can make, and when you can make them – the way your pension works and how much this is worth, will be a key component of this.
Your general well-being will also influence your future choices. If you remain well, you can make choices about your future from a position of strength. The course will address this issue and provide practical tips to facilitate your well-being.
