A NEW DAY, Interactive Financial Life Skills Program

On-line education through Pioneer Credit Counseling with “A New Day” is a 2 part education course that provides an analysis of the consumer’s current financial condition and the factors contributing to it, an individualized budget analysis, and assistance in developing an appropriate action plan.

After completion of both parts of the course and passing the final test you’ll be awarded a Certificate of Achievement. This is also an approved course for those consumers going through our Debt Management Program. This is an alternative to our “Simplified Guide to Financial Life Skills Workbook” you see below.
