Cryptocurrency Course

About Us

The London Academy of Trading (LAT) is an award-winning, dual-accredited provider of financial trading education and was the first academy in the UK to offer accredited and regulated qualifications in trading. We pride ourselves on providing practical and vocational training courses, developed to help individuals to invest or trade in financial markets, or for those looking to enhance their employment opportunities within financial markets.

We help our learners apply their knowledge in a real-world, real-time environment, understanding the fundamental and practical aspects of trading. Since our creation in 2010, we have focused on four specific pillars of knowledge to help students improve their skills and understanding: fundamental analysis, technical analysis, trading psychology, and risk management.

About the Course:

It's crucial that you learn the right skills and knowledge to take advantage of the opportunities presented in volatile markets and minimize your risks. Discover how to trade cryptocurrencies in real life with our cryptocurrency course. Covering the theoretical and practical aspects of crypto trading, the course will begin with an introduction to the history of crypto before explaining the processes to invest. You’ll also discover how to make informed investment decisions whilst managing your risks.

The program is delivered through a series of live, interactive webinar sessions with access to a crypto trading platform to enable you to participate actively in trading sessions. Through extensive work examples, you’ll develop your skills to trade cryptos in real life, with the support from our academic team to ask any questions throughout the journey.

Whether you're interested in Bitcoin, Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency, learn crypto trading with LAT!

Flexible Study Options:

With students in mind, we offer flexibility with all of our courses. We have developed our online delivery methods to enable continued interaction for all students, to enable you to extract the maximum benefit from whichever course you choose.

• You can pause and restart your course at any time.
• You can upgrade from one course to another by just paying the difference in course fees, not the whole fees for both courses.

Our Expert Tutors:

The LAT faculty is comprised of experienced traders and analysts from major financial institutions including HSBC, Bank of America and Bloomberg. Our team of tutors and trade mentors are available 10 hours a day to provide 1-2-1 help and guidance on any aspect of our courses. We also host three webinars every day in which the experts analyse the markets, answer questions and stimulate discussions to enhance the learning process.

"The LAT Level 5 Diploma provides all you need to introduce yourself to the trading world. All the tutors have a great way to teach, they are always there to support you through your journey, sharing their experiences to help you achieve your goals.

"The course is very well structured, between theory and practice, I could easily improve my trading skills. But the best part of this experience was the discussion with all the tutors. They are full of experience and always give me good and objective advice. I recommend LAT 100% for the quality of the courses but especially for the competence and the kindness of the tutors."

Established in 2010, the London Academy of Trading (LAT) has provided training for thousands of individuals wishing to enhance their knowledge of financial markets and to develop their skills in trading. The academy is accredited by the British Accreditation Council (BAC), which enables international students to study at LAT in London on Short-Term Study Visas (STSV). As a result, we have taught students from over 60 countries in the last 12 months.

Our students range from school and university pupils to working people, company owners, entrepreneurs and even retired individuals. Some are looking to develop their career in trading, while others are looking to learn the knowledge and practical skills to invest their own money in the markets.

We provide a range of courses, from 1-day events to our flagship 12-week Level 5 Diploma in Applied Financial Trading, accredited by ABE and regulated by Ofqual. Our suite of short courses is CPD-certified, enabling students to generate valuable CPD credits.

Our teaching faculty is comprised of experienced traders and analysts from major financial institutions including HSBC, Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse and Bloomberg, and all students have direct access to our team of trading mentors for ten hours every day for advice and guidance, helping them to develop robust and structured trading strategies combining theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

One of our main USPs is our extreme flexibility. We know that many people have other commitments, so we allow you to stop/start your course as required, but also you can choose to study either on our London trading floor, online or through our blended option, combining online study with your chosen number of days on campus.
