Overview

Where does your money go? And after paying your bills and expenses for the month, do you even have any left?

For far too many people, the answer to that second question is a resounding “no.” Mortgages, car payments, tuition, medical bills, life; it all adds up. And investing for the future can sometimes feel near impossible when you’re just struggling to make ends meet today.

But, as Warren Buffett has said, “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” Preparing for your future starts today, and for many of us, creating that shade for tomorrow begins with financial trading.

Despite what you may have been led to believe, you don’t have to be a financial genius to make financial trading work for you. You just have to understand some of the basics, and then be willing to learn as you go.

Description

This course has been specifically designed for those hoping to begin building their own financial nest egg, harnessing the potential available through financial trading.

We understand that the financial market can be intimidating to some, and that essentially gambling with your own money can feel like a huge risk. But through this course you’ll learn that there is some fun to be had in that, and perhaps even more importantly, that through responsible trading, the risks are fairly low.

We’ll walk you through the terms you may not yet know, the tools at your disposal, and the resources you can turn to when you’re hoping to learn even more.

Most importantly, this course will teach you what you need to know to begin trading and to start making money in the process.

How is the Financial Trading course assessed?

There is a short multiple choice exam at the end of each module for you to take and you’ll know your score immediately.

By studying Financial Trading online with IOA, you do not pay an extra fee for sitting an exam or have to wait for a set date to sit an exam.

Damien asked:

If we our unhappy with the grade we get from the exam, are we able to retake it?

Answer:

Hi Damien, thank you for your query. If the modules are already completed and passed, it's no longer possible to re-sit. You can only re-sit a module that is failed (received less than 55%). Kind Regards, Michael

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

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.
