Traders operate in global markets that are still feeling the after-effects of the financial meltdown and are now attempting to navigate the economic impact of the Covid pandemic.

With an increased focus on risk management and compliance, global traders need to be agile, analytic and adaptive in order to succeed.

A detailed knowledge of global markets, an ability to negotiate risk and an eye for a trade are therefore essential skills and talents for a trader.

This specialist course will equip you with the skills to take on a trading floor by exposing you to financial modelling, risk management systems and big data analytics.
