Course overview
In recent years, the use of cryptocurrency has boomed and disrupted many industries across the world, especially the world of finance. We understand that it may sometimes be hard to make sense of the workings of financial markets, let alone a currency that only seems to exist online. That’s why we’ve designed the Cryptocurrency course to help you understand the world of trading and digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin.
Focusing on risk management and capital preservation, the course will take you through the many steps involved in the digital currency trading process and gradually build your understanding of the importance of decision making in successful trades. You will also be introduced to portfolio trading, and how best to manage and keep track of your own portfolio.
This course is studied online and is conducted using our learning portal and live webinar sessions. These will enable you to stay in touch with our academic team and get support at any point of your student journey.
