12. Overall Assessment

What happens next?

MyBnk will contact you to organise your overall assessment. If we have not been in touch with you please ring the MyBnk office on 0207 377 8770 and ask to speak to the Quality and Training team.

What is the overall assessment?

• There are two sections to the assessment of the Finance Core Subject Knowledge: a presentation and a series of online tests.
• You will need to come into the MyBnk office for half a day to complete your assessment. The Quality and Training team will arrange this date with you.

How long will it take me to prepare for the assessment?

• This will depend on your existing knowledge levels but we estimate that it will take a maximum of 4 days to study the Finance Core Subject Knowledge.
• You must read every module.
• However, the presentation will be on 4 modules that are directly relevant to the MyBnk programmes that you will be delivering to young people. Therefore, you should spend 70% of your time preparing for the presentation- you will need to know all the details of these modules.
• 30% of your time should be spent preparing for the online tests that will be on the key facts and figures of the remaining 4 modules.

What do I need to do for each part of the assessment?

1. Presentation- 70% preparation time

• The first part of the assessment is a face-to-face presentation to one or two members of the MyBnk team.
• You will be asked to present for 10-15 minutes on modules that are directly relevant to the delivery of your allocated MyBnk programmes.
• You will be told which modules to prepare for your presentation e.g. Money Twist trainers will present on different modules to Money Works trainers
• You will be expected to present on information listed in the red boxes and highlighted as 'IMPORTANT' for your allocated modules.
• The presentations will be followed by a short question and answer session that will cover any knowledge gaps as well as wider financial issues.
• Presentations should be aimed at interested/bright 16 to 18 year olds. You do not need to be 'in-character'.
• This should be "chalk & talk" - we are interested in your ability to explain the topics so don't include activities and keep materials to a minimum.
• Don't get bogged down by too much detail.
• Use real life examples and personal stories to bring the topics to life.
• The purpose of this assessment is to consolidate the knowledge required to deliver MyBnk financial education programmes. We are not trying to catch you out!
• You may refer to summarised prompt notes during your presentation.

2. Online Tests- 30% preparation time

• The second part of assessment is online tests.
• The online tests will be on the modules that are not included in your presentation
• There will be a 15 minute test on each module
• You will be asked about key ideas, facts and figures for each module
• There will be multiple choice and short answer questions
• You will not be able to use notes
