Overview

If you want to know how the global economy works - and your place in it, this is the course for you.

Description

This is a completely unique course, delivered by a brilliant teacher who brings over 25 years of economic experience to you.

From the foundation of the Euro to the Asian crisis, from the great property boom/bust of the Noughties to the rise of China and today’s massive expansion in central bank activity in the economy, David brings hands-on experience as a central banker, global strategist with large investment banks, bestselling author and award-winning economic commentator and financial documentary maker.

This course is packed with information, ideas and dynamic animations, which will help you understand not just what is happening in the world economy right now, but why it is happening.

Delving deep into economic history, we bring you right up to today, as we lift the lid on why the economy works as it does, why the authorities react as they do and how all this affects your livelihood, prospects and income.

So, if you want to know how the global economy works and your place in it, this is the course for you.

This course takes a completely novel approach – one you will not see anywhere else - that makes your educational experience more like watching a lively documentary than sitting in a dry classroom.

Over the next nine hours or so, we will make economics relevant, taking you with us on a journey from the middle ages to modern China, from ancient cities in central America to today’s Wall Street and into the mindset of the powerbrokers in the EU. You will be exposed to all the great economic thinkers, their economic theories and how and why they differ. They will form the fundamental basis of the course.

This will be a fascinating experience and one that should be surprisingly easy to follow. Our motto regarding economics is “what is important is rarely complicated and what is complicated is rarely important”. We will make economics simple without simplifying and our aim is to impart as much of our knowledge to you as effortlessly as possible so that you finish the course knowing how to join up all the dots and you understand why the global economic system works as it does.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
