The LAT were the first UK academy to offer accredited, regulated qualifications and their courses have been delivered to a global audience for more than 14 years. They are widely recognised in the UK and internationally and are the benchmark courses in financial markets and trading skills. The LAT diploma (12-week course) is accredited by a global accreditor and regulated by Ofqual, the UK government regulator.
There are no comparable courses here. LAT courses have specifically been designed to teach people about financial markets and provide the knowledge and practical skills to enable individuals to trade across a range of different asset classes, from FX and stocks to commodities and crypto. Trading is a global industry and the disciplines required are uniform worldwide.

You’ll have 24/7 access to the pre-recorded lecture videos, reference manuals and other learning materials, and there will be live interactive online sessions five evenings a week. These will take place between 4.30pm and 10.00pm Australian Eastern Standard Time with the normal time differences for the different Australian states, New Zealand and South Pacific. You can also contact LAT experts directly via online chat or email.
This is one of the major benefits of LAT programs since all courses are designed to provide maximum flexibility for all participants. Ideally, you will complete your course within the assigned timescale, but we appreciate that you have other commitments which can be distracting, so you can pause your course at any time for any reason, and then pick up where you left off at any time in the future. All we ask is that you keep us informed if you want to pause and let us know when you want to resume. Also, since all course materials are available to you 24/7 online, you can study whenever it suits you best.
It varies with each individual and depends on the other demands on your time, but it is possible to work through the course in less than 4 hours a week. The time required is made up of learning (via pre-recorded lecture videos and reading supporting documents), interactive online webinars (for live Q&A and to see how the LAT professionals trade the markets), direct contact with LAT experts and then there’s time spent practising your trading on a real-time demo trading platform. Some students spend many hours each week practising their trading, so time spent on the course can vary significantly. There’s no obligation to spend many hours trading, but the more experience you get, the better.
No, while it’s a 6-week program and we recommend you complete it in the allotted timeframe, you can pause and pick up as many times as you wish, so there’s no set time limit to complete your program. The aim is to enable you to learn as efficiently as possible around your other commitments.
No, there are no exams for our Foundation Program, nor for any of our Specialist Courses, but you’ll still receive a Certificate of Competency for each course you complete without the need to sit any exams. However, if you want to achieve our Level 5 Diploma in Applied Financial Trading qualification (exclusive to our 12-week Advanced Trading Program, and equivalent to an associate degree), you would need to take and pass three coursework assignments to gain this qualification.
Yes, you’ll receive a Certificate of Competency when you complete each of our programs, and an accredited, regulated Diploma in Applied Financial Trading if you choose to complete the coursework assessments in the 12-week Advanced Trading Program.
