What sets us apart? In our course, as well as showing you how to trade, we use our own money to show you how we invest in the stock market, so you can experience real-life trading before you get started yourself. You can also follow these investments in order to understand why we buy and why we sell when we do.
This is a complete foundation course into the world of stock trading and investing. It is designed for all levels of traders and investors.
You’ll learn the basics, such as what a stock is, how exchanges work and the difference between public and private companies.
We’ll explain the different types of brokers available to you and the key aspects you’ll need to consider before placing your business with one to ensure your money is in safe hands.

I've spent over 20 years working for various companies in a number of different high profile job roles. However, one thing has remained the same, my passion for learning and teaching.
By working with the right experts, I've put together and delivered training courses on a variety of topics to rooms full of hundreds of people ranging in experience from beginners to senior management staff and company CEO’s. My goal is to connect with students, deliver courses which are engaging, clear and easy to understand with the aim of providing practical skills and knowledge which can be taken away and used every day.
