Everyone Should Be Studying The Financial Markets

I really believe that everyone should be studying financial courses such as CeMAPDipFA, Stocks and Shares & Forex... not just those who want to become mortgage/financial advisers or stock market traders.


Have you ever heard the saying "Money makes the world go 'round", well I'm sure gravity will have something to say about that but you cannot deny that money has a heavy influence over the majority of aspects in your life. Be it directly or indirectly.


Most of us don't realise how much money we actually waste everyday purely because we don't even know that we are wasting it. 
Money is just too difficult to come by these days for us to allow it to just leak out of our wallets (or purses).


Therefore, it only makes sense for you to learn about the rules & regulations which surrounds your money, the best to use your money & maybe even how to make your money work for you. Using your money more efficiently will undoubtedly make an improvement to many aspects in your life thus improving your life as a whole.


We at Futuretrend run DipFA, CeMAP, Stocks and Shares & Forex training courses. The CeMAP courses are available during the weekdays, on the weekend & via home study. So whichever method of study you find the most suitable to your schedule is available.


If you are happy with your life in every way, dismiss this blog. But if you would like to improve your life, even if it's just a little. Consider studying CeMAP or DipFA & learn how to better control your money.

Classroom Based Learning vs eLearning - Which Is Most Beneficial?


I am not a teacher by trade but I do work for a training company, Futuretrend, which have been in the training industry since 2000.


I personally believe that classroom based training is generally the best method for learning.


The group environment will usually generate a natural interactivity within the classroom, the other students will most likely ask question you never thought of & are usually make good study partners. The classroom experience can be greatly enhanced by a teacher that is good at their job, they should understand where the students are coming from & keep the classes interactive. There is a lot more to teaching than just possessing knowledge... otherwise what would be the need for teachers we would just use books.


But I do believe that eLearning can be effectively used to support what is taught in the classroom & enhance the education industry as a whole. But it will never replace classroom based learning on a global scale. Could you really image all the children staying at home & logging into a webinar instead of going to school?


That’s what we do here at Futuretrend, we have excellent classroom based courses which is supported by our extensive revision resources online.
