Mesila Financial Coach Training FAQ
Read the FAQ below to learn more about the course!
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to helping families and individuals achieve financial serenity through Torah-based, subsidized financial coaching. We also develop financial curricula that are taught in schools worldwide and share financial knowledge through workshops, webinars, and courses.
Our comprehensive coaching package includes six sessions guided by a Mesila-trained coach. The coach helps their client conduct a thorough analysis of their financial situation and leads them to discover their own solutions, suited to their needs and lifestyle. The program is based on Torah values and is unique to Mesila.
Our feedback shows that most families emerge from the coaching process with a greater understanding of their finances and how to manage them proactively; clarity on how to live within their means; stronger relationships, less affected by the constant stress of financial struggle and peer pressure; calmer and happier children; and increased financial responsibility.
The course is practical and hands-on, with simulation exercises that give you the confidence to begin coaching as soon as you’ve finished the course. Our skilled mentors accompany you along the way and are available for questions.
