• How is the course structured so that I get the most out of the features?

  A recommended outline of how we’ll help you make the most is as follows:

  1. After purchasing you’ll gain access to the videos and Kapil will reach out to you via email.
  2. Start watching the videos and make note of anything you want further help on.
  3. Schedule a time with Kapil over Zoom.
  4. During the Zoom calls we can cover specific topics or clarify any topics in the videos.
  5. Arrange with Kapil what date you shall start to automatically receive your business snapshot summaries.
  6. Once we have enough people to set up a social cohort group (usually between 5 – 10 people), Kapil will add you to the group and you’ll be able to start interacting right away. We add individuals to a social cohort all at the same time. Once you’ve been added we suggest you arrange a zoom meetup on your own time, bounce investment ideas with each other and consider this as your brain trust regarding long term investing.
• 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. We can discuss certain company names with you. If you start to invest yourself and generate returns then your chances of employment in the field increase further as you combine what you’ve learned with practice.

• 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.

• Is the credential important ?

  Investing isn’t about credentials and passing tests

  The credential is available once you finish the entire course. Nevertheless we feel even if you take core concepts from a few modules and don’t achieve the credential, you’ll still be able to shift your investing approach for the better
