"I Just wanted to say thanks again for the amazing 3 day course at Instructus markets. Before this course I had my doubts about the financial industry and even what sector in the finance world was best for me. Even though it was only 3 days I now have a much better scope of the industry as well as what sector I feel I would fit into the most. Thanks for making it so casual and relaxed in the sense that you were always open to questions and discussions. I will definitely recommend Instructus Markets to my friends and classmates at Warwick."

Testimonials

“Having spent three decades within the sales and marketing function of a leading global technology firm, my understanding of capital markets and their influence upon our business was limited. As a newly appointed board member, Instructus provided a discreet educational service tailored to my exact needs. A revelation.
