  • Full weekend format (9am to 4pm both days)
  • Includes printed workbook and templates
  • Lunch provided on both days
  • Small group size ensures individual attention
  • Follow-up email support for 30 days after

I attended Henrik's pilot course last year and it changed how I think about my paycheck. Before, money just disappeared. Now I know where it goes and can actually make plans. The course was practical—no fluff, just useful information I could apply right away.
