⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jaco-Chris Koorts
What an amazing course! The course content is very relevant, and the tuition is amazing. Frequent quizzes also makes sure that you are ready to move on to the next part of the course, and the parts build on each other. I would definitely recommend this course.

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Craig
Excellent course. The teacher is very good and for my level, the content was spot on. I very much enjoyed how the teacher explains the theory (e.g. mathematical formulas) and walks through the python code. One of the best courses I have purchased!

Le Ngoc Tri
I’ve been learning lots of finance-related courses, and know almost all the concepts in this course ahead of time. However, based on Fervent’s delivery method, now I can look at those things from a totally different angle, and understand them much deeper. Thanks Fervent for creating this course.

Eric Roberts

Gri Ma
This course earns really all 5 stars. Fervent is really doing an excellent job to explain not easy digestible content in a understandable fashion. I love it.

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tony Cagle
Excellent course giving fundamentals of market finance. Up to this point, I have been going through the videos and taking notes with pen and paper. I have gotten about halfway through and am now finding it sufficiently challenging to where I feel that I need to go back and do the homework assignments to make my knowledge concrete. If I only got some of the tips and tricks and basic maths that the first half of this video gave, it would have been worth the purchase price. HOWEVER – I still have the advanced section to still go through! I couldn’t be happier with this course!

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

EXCELLENT Breakdown of the work looking forward to utilizing my new skills within my trading
