The Money Instruction Book was created and developed by Paul Richard who is also the ICFE's executive director. It's the second generation personal finance curriculum for the ICFE, their first personal finance curriculum was known as "The DOLLARPLAN: Spending and Savings Techniques for the 1990s". Over 500 individuals nationwide have attended two day instructor training seminars put on by the ICFE in the 1990s. Over 250,000 consumers are estimated to have attended classes utilizing ICFE personal finance curriculum.
There is a great deal of flexibility in presenting The Money Instruction Book course, depending on the setting. For adult education, community colleges, university extension courses, bankruptcy education and Learning Annex settings, classes run from seven to thirteen weeks. More often, however, ICFE Certified Instructors pick and choose the chapters they want to present and set up a seminar series lasting from one to five or six weeks. Each class is about two hours.
PowerPoint presentations on each of the fourteen chapters (and also each quiz) enhances both the classroom presentation the Money Instruction Book and the participants learning experience. The PowerPoints are very user friendly and can be prepared by the ICFE to fit shorter courses.
At the beginning of each chapter in the ICFE Certified Instructor's version are teaching techniques and tips in addition to the major learning points of each lesson/chapter. This also gives the Instructor a guideline for each chapter presentation.
Class Materials: Individual Money Instruction Books may be purchased by each class member and the cost each is $39.95 (postage additional). The contents may also be purchased by individual chapter(s) for ICFE Certified Instructors who want to cover only a few of the subjects. Individual chapters costs range from $4 to $6 each (postage additional). Each chapter has a cover page for individual presentation.
The certification course utilizes the at-home study approach. Candidates for ICFE Instructor Certification take the Money Instruction Book course at their leisure and must complete each quiz, at the end of each of the fourteen chapters, they must be returned to the ICFE.
