Trading Skills Course

Overview

Highlights

We pride ourselves on providing practical and vocational training courses, developed to help individuals to invest or trade in financial markets, or for those looking to enhance their employment opportunities within financial markets. 

The Trading Skills Course helps the learners apply their knowledge in a real-world, real-time environment, understanding the fundamental and practical aspects of trading. Since our creation in 2010, we have focused on four specific pillars of knowledge to help students improve their skills and understanding: fundamental analysis, technical analysis, trading psychology and risk management.

It's crucial that you learn the right skills and knowledge to take advantage of the opportunities presented on volatile markets and to minimise your risks. If you have an active interest in trading then discover how you get started and learn the fundamentals in just four weeks. With the option to study online, on campus or via a blended combination, our full range of flexible study options will help you learn to trade around your commitments.

This course can be taken by recent graduates and mature students as well as those who want to trade their own funds to earn an additional income. You’ll learn under the watchful eyes of our professional mentors, with extensive academic sessions introducing the techniques for trading real-time financial markets. You will get a practical introduction to the financial markets including the major players, what they get up to, and what makes financial markets move.

Whether you wish to trade commodities, stock indices, individual equities, forex or other trade assets, it’s up to you. LAT will teach you about all the different assets and give you the skills you need to trade successfully. You will have access to a real time trading platform and LAT mentors will be available 10 hours a day for 1-2-1 trading guidance.

With students in mind we offer flexibility with all of our courses. We have developed our delivery methods to enable continued interaction for all students, to enable you to extract the maximum benefit from whichever course you choose.
