The online course developed by FXStreet and the University of Essex Online has a new intake in January 2016.
Barcelona, November 18, 2015 – FXStreet and University of Essex Online announce the fourth intake of their joint online programme aimed at providing students with an introduction into trading and investment. With this course, Financial Trading Analysis (FTA), students learn about the different types of financial assets, various schools of analysis and trading strategies, as well as have the chance to put their learning into practice on live trading simulators.
After three successful intakes and 38 students, the fourth intake will start on January 12, 2016. Applications are open until December 20th.
The Financial Trading Analysis course is suitable for those who want to progress in the sector or can be used as a stepping stone to move into investment banking or brokering.

Carolina May, CEO of FXStreet, explained the challenge making a University accredited course represented for her team: “At FXStreet we’ve always thought that education is the key to succeed in Forex. A couple of years ago, Gus Farrow came with the idea of converting our educational resources into an acredited course. He made it real through this collaboration with the University of Essex Online. The first intake was launched one year ago. We were pretty confident about our model, but also anxious to see if interest among traders would be sufficient to make the course live. And it did since 38 students already took the course and we’ll have a new intake in January.”

Good option of serving the online community. When I was living in Mesa, Arizona. But not able to know the proper terms, as I was just a little trout in the desert.
