Our Programmes

Three studies. One workshop.

Each programme addresses a different stage of personal finance — from household budgeting to investment study to retirement planning.

Why Tindell Ashkar

Care in the construction

Each programme is designed the way a good joint is cut — to bear load without slipping. The quality of the material and the patience in fitting it together are what set this work apart.

Measured approach

Content is structured in small, manageable pieces — nothing is forced. Each concept builds on the last, the way a joint needs its shoulder cut before the tenon can fit.

Malaysian context

EPF, unit trusts, Shariah-compliant instruments, Bursa Malaysia — the programmes are built around the financial environment most participants actually live and work in.

Reference-grade materials

Workbooks, glossaries, and case study readings are designed for ongoing reference — not to be skimmed and forgotten but to be kept on the shelf and returned to.

Accessible language

Technical terms are explained, not assumed. The aim is understanding, not jargon — financial concepts are described as carefully as a craftsman describes a joint type to an apprentice.

Three-stage structure

Programmes move from household budgeting through investment concepts to lifetime planning — a deliberate progression that mirrors how financial understanding should actually develop.

Education, not advice

These are educational programmes. Participants leave with knowledge and frameworks to make their own informed decisions — not with recommendations or prescriptions about what to do.

Common questions

Questions about the workshop

Who are these programmes designed for?
The programmes are for working adults and young professionals in Malaysia who want a clearer understanding of personal finance. No background in economics or accounting is required — curiosity and a willingness to work through the material carefully are enough.
Do I need to complete all three programmes?
Each programme stands on its own. You may begin with Dovetails if budgeting is the area you want to address first, or start with Mortise & Tenon if investment concepts are the priority. Many participants work through all three over time.
How are the sessions delivered?
Sessions combine recorded content you can study at your own pace with workshop-style materials — workbooks, case study readings, and reference glossaries. Some programmes include optional live discussion sessions. Details are provided when you enrol.
Is financial advice given during the programmes?
No. Tindell Ashkar provides financial education — descriptions, frameworks, and concepts — not personal financial advice. Participants are encouraged to apply what they learn in consultation with a licensed financial adviser when making specific decisions.
How long does each programme take to complete?
Dovetails typically takes four to six weeks at a comfortable pace. Mortise & Tenon runs for eight to ten weeks. The Cabinet is an extended programme of twelve to sixteen weeks, reflecting the breadth of the subject matter it covers.
Are the fees inclusive of all materials?
Yes. The programme fees cover all materials — workbooks, recorded sessions, case study readings, and reference resources. There are no additional charges for materials once enrolled.
