Investing courses/training

If you're still determined to do it there's probably something free or cheap on Udemy. As with the others though, think carefully if this is for you. Bear in mind plenty of traders with the backing of entire research teams, years of experience and so on still can do poorly. 

I guess we don't know your situation though, it might be you want to trade with just 10% of your pot just for interest and as a hobbie, fair enough if that's your bag!

Either way, I am happy to spend a few £000k for good training.

Hopefully the training will include how to differentiate between thousands and millions, could be an expensive mistake....

Hopefully you will also learn to differentiate the amount of attention that goes into a typo while typing on a forum without consequence and trading real money

Most comments I am getting here (except a couple of decent replies) are sarcasm and assumptions that I am stupid and will go bankrupt. haha I was expecting some helpful advise but maybe this is the wrong forum for that.

The question referred to whether anyone had any recommendations rather than asking if courses were any good. 

And the answer seems to be nobody has any recommendations because courses are not any good.

Based on how many courses have you done or know people who have? Or is it an assumption because no one could possibly have any thing to teach on trading?

They are not unfair responses because many of the people that try trading usually end up losing money.    Trading is a mugs game at the consumer level.  You are not going to know enough about the companies you trade in and if you are hoping to get tips on companies via the internet then you are just destined to lose money.
The only winners are those providing the software or those that benefit from getting share prices shortened or ramped up.  It is the wild west.      It is a model that aims to get people addicted and then screw them as much as possible.

The advice has been helpful.   Ignoring the advice is your problem.

If you're looking at a short degree, post grad cert or Masters, something that might lead to a finance professional qualification, something delivered by an IFA as an introduction to finance, or perhaps just asking about buying a good book to help get you started - some night have said "maybe that could be worthwhile".

But you were asking about a course called "Million Dollar Traders" that you heard about on TV...
Short answer, no, I do not think such a product is worthwhile, it sounds like a Contrapreneur scam.

I asked about any trading course. The course isn’t called Million dollar traders btw, it is created by the investor who made the BBC show million dollar traders. I was asking about any good courses. I already have a Finance post grad from NYU.

Thanks for those who replied anyway. Most replies from people who haven’t actually done a course or met anyone who has, so not the best representation. I will try on finance pro focussed forums. Thanks.
