Junior Trader Plus

Get the advantage

Junior Trader Plus is where students can take their financial knowledge and analysis skills to the next level. 

Suitable for sixth formers and undergraduates alike.

The Course

The course is expected to take 4-8 weeks although this can be spread over up to a year if the student chooses. It is a self taught piece that involves 5 key stages:

  • Jargon Buster Quiz
  • Analytical Techniques in Practice
  • Mid-term formative assessment with feedback
  • Introduction to Compliance and Risk
  • Final assessment with feedback

The content is less mathematical and designed to permit student to explore their own thoughts and opinions on the way companies are run, and interact with all stakeholders.

Individual formative and summative assessment will be given and it is hoped that candidates will have grown a confidence to talk about investment during interviews and assessment.
