The workshop covers a number of financial literacy topics, including:

  • Evaluating insurance needs;
  • Properly handling a checking account;
  • Using credit wisely;

By attending a workshop, you will earn a certificate that meets the pre-discharge debtor education requirement of the new bankruptcy reform legislation, BAPCPA. ClearPoint is approved to issue certificates [evidencing completion of a personal finance management course] in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code.  Approval does not endorse or assure the quality of a Provider’s services.
