Options Trading 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 to minimise your risks. If you’re looking to invest in the stock market for the longer term, this course will help you develop your understanding of equity markets & long-term equity investing. Today’s volatile markets present excellent opportunities for investors, and LAT can set you up with the necessary skills to excel in this environment.

Our specialist tutors will introduce you to the techniques of valuing stocks and will examine how you can profit from equity markets by identifying the factors which drive share prices.

Through a series of interactive online sessions over the course of two weeks, we’ll help you to improve your equity investing approach and equip you with the ability to make more informed investment decisions.

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.

• Study online through a series of live interactive online sessions.
• 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.

Intake

Every month

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.
