Overview

Rask’s Beginner Shares course (sharemarket investing 101) is a free online program that is aimed at helping you understand the basics of investing in Australia, starting with the core terms, definitions, strategies and ideas.

What you’ll learn in the Beginners Shares Course…

This program is designed for individuals and couples who are just kicking things off. It introduces you to key knowledge of the sharemarket and investing more broadly, including:

  • How to invest for the first time
  • What shares represent and how to think about creating wealth from shares
  • Dividends — what they are, how they’re paid and the key dates
  • An explainer of the common investing terms you’ll come across online (earnings profit versus revenue, EBITDA, etc.)
  • Franking credits, including how they work and what they mean
  • Investment risks and what people mean by low/medium/high risk investing
  • Lots more!

What you will get from this course…

While we say this is a beginner’s program 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 decisionsengage with a finance professional with confidence and help to set yourself up for financial success over the long run.

That’s not half bad for a free online course, right?

Expert instructors

Rask’s courses are often free or come at a super-low price point. 

So why are our courses so cheap (or free)?

It’s pretty simple. 

We dream of a world in which everyone has equal access to free financial education and can invest with optimism for a better tomorrow.

This is just one reason why Rask is different from just about every bank, financial education service, business podcast network, investment research or financial advice business.

We stand for YOU.

But what’s in it for us?

Our mission is to help you live life on your own T&Cs.

Our team didn’t win the birth lottery. We didn’t grow up in fancy houses with lots of money. Nor did we have parents that knew everything about high finance. We had to learn the hard way… and it wasn’t easy.

We dream of a world where everyone has equal access to honest, trustworthy information and courses from anyway, at any time.

The way we make money (or “keep the lights on”) is by asking users to pay a small, one-time fee for some of our courses. 

(Side note: numerous studies of human psychology tell us that this small fee increases your chances of finishing the course.)

It’s also worth knowing that Rask is bigger than just courses, or podcasts.

Outside of Rask Education, we offer memberships and investment research to thousands of Australians. Memberships are our core business that supports the education we provide you here. 

Is this course worth my time?

Absolutely!
