Our accredited Level 5 Diploma in Applied Financial Trading is an intensive 12-week course which provides a comprehensive understanding of how to trade real-time financial markets. Under the watchful eyes of our professional traders and mentors, we aim to provide an enjoyable and constructive experience for every student. Whether you study on campus, online or blended, all students have access to our team of traders and mentors for 10 hours every day, either in person on the LAT trading floor or via our chat rooms and daily interactive webinars.
Throughout the course, all students trade real-time foreign exchange, commodities, stock indices and other financial markets to apply their learned knowledge in real-time markets and to enhance their trading skills. The course has been designed for people wishing to become financial markets traders, but also for students wanting a more practical qualification in financial markets trading, or for those looking for an additional source of income. The programme requires little or no previous knowledge of trading, but students will move quickly from the basics of trading towards more sophisticated techniques.
Through our corporate partners, we also offer trading accounts with special low commissions and tight bid-ask spreads, as well as career advice and help with interview technique and CV writing.
