What you will get from this course…
We say this is a beginner’s program, but it covers just about everything you will want to know about investing. While it’s a short course, if you successfully complete this free course we hope that you will be able to make educated decisions, engage with a finance professional with confidence and be able to set yourself up for financial success over the long run.
That’s not half bad for a free online course, right?
