Founded in 2011 by four experienced investment banking professionals, Instructus is committed to demystifying financial markets and to navigating participants in our courses through the complexities of the modern financial world.
Our clients are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and experience: students seeking a career in finance; business executives wanting to improve their overall understanding of financial markets; investors keen to enhance their trading capabilities; and anyone with a desire to increase their knowledge of modern financial markets.
Our core courses, all of which are designed in conjunction with our clients in order to match their precise training requirements, range from an Investment Banking Masterclass to our one- to-one Trading Skills Workshop and Professional Skills for Students Program. Other seminars and workshops focus on specialist areas of particular interest selected by our clients. Courses take place either in our central London office close to The Ritz Hotel or in a location convenient to you.
Students and business school graduates considering a career in investment banking and finance will find Instructus' courses invaluable in identifying the most appropriate roles to target and in ensuring that they are fully informed ahead of the highly competitive graduate application and interview processes. Our courses for students also include intensive Interview Training and Professional Business Skills Workshops.
Corporate executives looking to refresh and update their knowledge of financial markets and the components of investment banking should consider our intensive one or two-day courses, tailored to cover all the key issues and inter-relationships governing the operation of global capital markets.
