Want to start investing but don’t know where to begin?

We’ll guide you through the basics of buying shares and funds in a simple, step-by-step way. By the end, you’ll be ready to build your own portfolio, with a (theoretical!) investing challenge to see if you can make a profit.

Our course will teach you essential investing skills with personalised feedback from an investment expert.

How does the course work?

It’s fully online, self-paced to fit around other commitments and can be started any time. Each week includes a short video and a practical (but theoretical!) task to take an hour. You’ll access everything via your online account and we’re on hand to help with any questions.

We’re an Approved Activity Provider (AAP) for the skills section of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Once you’ve completed the course, we’ll submit your assessor’s report to your eDofE account and send you a certificate of achievement.

We also offer six and twelve month courses.

• Why share prices move and how investors make money
