Overview

13.9 million individuals trade the world’s financial markets and they all started their trading careers somewhere. You can start yours in the right way today by taking an award-winning, highly rated, proven course.

This unique course will cut your learning curve significantly and introduce you to the cornerstone skills understood by all experienced traders.

The course, consisting of 18 on-demand lessons and a 1-on-1 zoom class with our Head Tutor, will answer the three vital questions all new traders ask themselves:

  • Is trading right for me?
  • How do I do it successfully?
  • Where do I start?

Trading your own capital on the financial markets is a double-edged sword, if done successfully it can unlock benefits some can only dream of: financial freedom, flexibility, and a scalable business. If done unsuccessfully it can be frustrating, time-consuming, and costly. This course will teach you how to be on the right side of this divide and start you down a clear, proven road-map.

Hezron asked:

Is is it more suitable to take this course prior to or concurrently with a beginners course in FOREX trading?

Answer:

Hi Herzron - thanks for your question. Forex markets are covered and introduced in the course. To answer your question I'd say prior to - our Trading for Beginners course introduces a broad range of topics which will benefit a specialized forex course. Hope that helps, any more questions please just ask.

This was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.
Wesley asked:

I have no experience of Cryptocurrency, is it better to purchase this course along side another cryptocurrency course? develop deep understanding?

Answer:

Hi Wesley, many thanks for your question. The course provides an introduction to trading and an overview of the different asset classes, of which cryptos is one. If you want to learn about general cryptocurrencies - how decentralized ledgers work, mining, crypto exchanges etc, then I'd recommend trying another course on Reed. If you are looking to trade cryptos, and want an introduction to trading, then Trading for Beginners is the right course.

Arjun asked:

Is this course for beginners, I have no clue about day trading

Answer:

Hi Arjun Thanks for your question. Yes, the course seeks to introduce the student to trading and will help answer three common questions most people have at your stage: Is trading right for me? How do I do it successfully? and Where do I start? I hope that has helped answer your question.

This was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.
Arjun asked:

Will this course tell you how you to identify what stock you should put your money on daily?

Answer:

Hi Arjun That's the end goal but in practice how you analyse a market to find an opportunity is a skill that takes time developing. This course is there to help start students down this journey, to ensure they go into investing or trading with their eyes wide open and aware of what it is and what is needed - to clarify, this course is not the whole journey. I hope that helps, please let me know if you need any more clarifications. Kind regards

Stephen asked:

Does the provider offer 1 to 1 training

Answer:

Hi Stephen, yes we do! However, we'd recommend considering this only after you've taken the course. The course includes a weekly live online workshop with the tutor, this is the best forum to ask any questions and clarify anything taught.

This was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.
Stephen asked:

Do I need specific software to access the course . Or is internet access only sufficient . I am a beginner

Answer:

Hi Stephen - Thanks for your question. No, you do not need specific software, the on-demand element of the course can be accessed via our website. The live session is run on zoom, if you haven't used zoom before it will ask you to download its desktop client the first time you use it but its all automatic. Thanks

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.
