Want to start investing or launch your own business but don’t know where to begin?
This six-month course combines practical investing and business skills to help you build both your wealth and your confidence, with support 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 and provide personalised feedback.

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 three and twelve-month courses.
