LONDON, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The London
Academy of Trading (LAT) today announced that it will offer its
Introduction to Financial Markets and Trading course free of charge
to furloughed workers and others who have had their employment
affected in recent months due to COVID-19 in a bid to help them
improve their knowledge and boost their skills.
The free online course will be valid for applications submitted
in the month of August and will be made available on a first come,
first served basis. With support from LAT's dedicated academic
staff, the one-week Introduction to Financial Markets and Trading
course will be delivered through online classes and is designed to
impart students with fundamental knowledge and understanding of
trading and ultimately build confidence to successfully trade in
financial markets.
Commenting on the course, Paddy
Osborn, Academic Dean at LAT, said: "For those individuals
whose careers have been affected by COVID, we are pleased to be
able to offer the opportunity for them to enhance their knowledge
and learn some new skills. This free one-week course has been
designed to provide an introduction to financial markets and
trading, either for individuals looking to generate income from
trading or for those looking to enhance their career options and
employability.
"The course requires no prior knowledge of trading or financial
markets since we start with a beginners guide and work from the
bottom up. We explain how fundamental and technical analysis are
used by traders to generate profits in equities, FX, precious
metals, stock indices and commodities, but also focus on risk
management and trading psychology. Students can watch pre-recorded
video lectures unlimited times throughout their course, but I feel
the main benefit comes from the on-going interaction with my team
of trading mentors and tutors through our daily webinars."
Established in 2010, LAT provides dedicated education on finance
and trading-related subjects. LAT is accredited by the British
Accreditation Council (BAC), its short courses are certified by
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and its three-month
Advanced Trading Course is accredited by the Association of
Business Executives (ABE).
