• By learning from Apollo Academy will I be able to get a job in the investing field?

  Getting a job in investing depends on a lot of factors but equipped with the knowledge we teach you, your chances increase because we cover a wide range of topics from accountancy to valuation.

  However, because we are focused on long term investing the best way you can get a job after taking our course is to apply to long term equity orientated investment firms.

• I want to expose my child to learning about investing in public companies? Is this course suitable?

  Absolutely. We feel it’s a neglected part of education yet highly important. A parent shouldn’t be worried that the field of investing is too complex – in fact we think that other specific high school subjects contain more difficult concepts compared to investing (e.g. Physics and Chemistry).

  Many great investors started learning at very early ages – some as young as 13. What’s crucial is controlling behaviour and honing one’s temperament. We discuss this in depth during the course.
