Reviews by our Graduates

What we learnt was very informative and not something you can just Google. There were quizzes and group discussions to make the online learning experience very engaging.

Ang Keng Wee

Graduate, 2020

I learnt more about the fundamentals of selecting a company. It also gives me more conviction about the kind of research done before considering investments.

Sherene Lua

Graduate, 2020

The course taught me how to choose companies to invest in with insight and confidence. I now have my own company watchlist based on the concepts learnt.
