I did an internship while attending the 3-months level 5 diploma.What was the programme like?
Taught by professionals with real expertise, the programme is very well constructed and easily adapted for students with different backgrounds or no prior knowledge of finance.

However, after finishing the course, I realised that I also gained the skills to pursue a professional career in trading.What have you learned during your time at LAT?
The most important thing I learned was the psychology behind every trade and the behaviour of the financial markets. It also taught me how to identify the main indicators to make real profits from my trades while managing my risks to reduce my losses.What are you doing now?
I am currently a Funds Data Analyst at Bloomberg LP.How has LAT helped with your career development?
Even with a background in finance, LAT taught me to analyse the financial markets in a very special way, focusing on identifying what matters the most, and how the news is important to make the markets evolve and behave.Would you recommend LAT to a friend?

Why did you select LAT?
The decision to choose an educator was very hard considering the market place and how many educator providers there are now. The main reason I choose LAT other than its great reputation was the fact that it is the only accredited educator out there and I feel that really sets it apart.Which programme did you study?
I studied the 3-month course of Applied Finance and Trading. I was a blended student meaning I done half the course online and the other course in-house on the trading floor.What was the programme like?
I found the programme great, the material within the course covered everything you needed to know about all aspects of trading.What were you aiming to achieve with this course?
When leaving the course my goal was to trade my own money and show a consistent rate of return on my capital.What have you learned during your time at LAT?
The two main things I learned at LAT was the physiological aspects of trading and how your mind can affect your positions, good or bad. And the importance of setting your own trading rules when going off and trading independently. In the FX market where there are no rules to follow your own plan and not to deviate from this is most certainly one of the greatest aspects.What are you doing now?
I work full time as a Sales Manager at FX Pro while also trading my own money.How has LAT helped with your career development?
I was able to progress on from the course and obtain a job within the financial markets.Would you recommend LAT to a friend?
I was able to progress on from the course and obtain a job within the financial markets.16 Oct
