Royal Navy & Royal Marines

General Sir Gwyn Jenkins KCB OBE ADC RM
First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff
Welcome to the Naval Service’s Financial Education Programme. Across society there’s a clear gap in financial confidence and the Naval Service is not immune. That’s why we’ve introduced this programme, developed in partnership with the Financial Times Financial Literacy & Inclusion Campaign and co-created with serving Royal Navy and Royal Marines personnel.
Delivered through 7 modules containing a total of 59 short, self-paced videos, it covers the full spectrum of financial decision-making and can be revisited any time. It’s free to use, and open to families and our veteran community too.
Our aim is simple: to give every one of you a solid foundation in financial matters. Your financial resilience matters, both to you and to the Service.
