TRADING ACADEMY RATINGS & REVIEWS

It is our #1 relentless commitment to do everything we can in support of our students. We emphasize the importance of all aspects of the trade; including choosing an asset class and trading style, developing a trading plan, understanding trader psychology and the importance of risk management. Combined with the student support and available online resources, it’s easy to see why many students say they never feel alone in their trading journey. It’s this ongoing relentless commitment to excellence and educational growth that keeps students coming to Trading Academy. We also have a relentless commitment to transparency, so these post class survey ratings are uploaded on a real time basis weekly to our website unfiltered and below are the cumulative ratings so far.

“I enjoyed the program because it is a new learning experience for me. The classroom is okay, the snacks are good. The environment is clean and the toilet is accessible quick.
The professor is well versed on all the topics. He is not annoyed with many questions thrown unto him everyday. His examples and comparison to real situations in life to make us understand is awesome. I will have to come back to learn more from him.
I like it very much although computer part slows me down.
