About Us

The London Academy of Trading is an award-winning, dual-accredited provider of financial trading education and was the first academy in the UK to offer accredited and regulated qualifications in trading. We pride ourselves on providing practical and vocational training courses developed to help individuals invest or trade in financial markets or for those looking to enhance their employment opportunities within financial markets.

Since 2010, we have stayed committed to our four pillars of knowledge—fundamental analysis, technical analysis, trading psychology, and risk management—which keep us on track to show our students how to make the most out of their trading journey. We help our learners apply their knowledge in a real-world, real-time environment so they understand the fundamental and practical aspects of trading.

About the Course:

The Advanced Trading course is perfect for those who are keen to understand the factors which cause shifts and fluctuations in global financial markets. By studying this course, you will gain a brand new skill set and increase the strength of your CV with an accredited, regulated qualification.

This 12-week course is the academy’s pre-eminent programme, which doesn’t require any prior knowledge. The programme starts with an introduction to the financial markets and an overview of the essentials of trading before exploring macroeconomic events and how they impact global markets.

You’ll learn how to build a solid and robust trading strategy with an in-depth insight into technical analysis tools. You’ll also explore trading psychology and risk management to understand how human emotions can influence financial decisions.

Whether you’re looking to trade commodities, stock indices, equities, forex, or other assets, LAT offers insights into a variety of assets and how they’re associated to ensure you have the necessary skills for trading. Upon successful completion, you'll receive a Level 5 Diploma in Applied Financial Trading.

Choose whether to study online, face-to-face, or via a blended combination of the two. Have the freedom to pause and resume your course as much as you like to suit your schedule. We offer nine start dates each year, so there’s never long to wait for the next course to begin. During the course, you will have access to three interactive webinars each day, a real-time trading platform to practise new skills, and LAT mentors available ten hours a day for 1:1 trading guidance.

Flexible Study Options:

To keep our programmes flexible and accessible, we have developed online delivery methods for an uninterrupted flow of learning for all our students. This means you can extract maximum benefits from whichever course you choose, pause and restart your course at any time, and upgrade from one course to another just by paying the difference in course fees

Our Expert Tutors:

Our teaching faculty is comprised of experienced traders and analysts from major financial institutions, including HSBC, Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse, and Bloomberg, who are eager to support our students through this exciting path they’ve chosen to take. All students have direct access to our team of trading mentors for ten hours every day, where they have the chance to develop robust and structured trading strategies on a 1:1 basis. We also host three daily webinars where our experts analyse the markets, answer questions, and stimulate discussions to enhance the learning process.
