Frequently asked questions
Do I need trading experience?
No for the Level 3 Certificate – it is the entry point. The Level 5 Diploma expects you to have completed Level 3 or have equivalent knowledge.
Is the qualification accredited?
Yes. Our qualifications are VTCT-accredited, and VTCT is regulated by Ofqual.
How is it assessed?
Online, using secure AI-supported proctoring with identity checks, so you can sit your assessment from home.
Does it guarantee trading profits?
No. The course builds professional skills, discipline and risk management – not profit promises.
Can I talk to someone before I buy?
Yes – book a call with founder Martin Hills, a former LIFFE floor trader.
