Online courses learn to invest We are experts in teaching investors to become better investors. Investing in the financial market is an excellent way to achieve financial freedom. But you must first learn the basics and more to become successful in the stock market. Our online courses are a perfect way to learn to invest as a beginner or become an even better-experienced investor. Our mission is to make you become a better investor. Our story Once upon a time, in the Netherlands in 1999, the company I worked for started the first online broker, Alex. Some years later, we were the market leader and BinckBank took us over. We realised, however, that we needed more than offering the best platform with the most advanced tools and information to make our clients better investors. Therefore, we founded the Academy together with the University of Maastricht. Having a Chair at this University, our goal was to study the behaviour of our client base. There are bookcases and libraries filled with good books about investing. But, possibly none of them is about the Investor him- or herself. Our goal Academy for Investors' goal is to empower all private or professional investors to become better investors. More institutes might claim they have this goal for their clients. However, you need to have personally trained and coached thousands of investors to know how to best explain. We see the mistakes beginners make and the opportunities they miss. We know from experience what makes a good trader and what it takes to become a better investor. Our combined experience of 60 years working with private investors forms the basis of these courses. The teachers of this course and myself have gained experience working for over 20 years at the industry-leading BinckBank and Saxo Bank. Become a better investor and enjoy the journey!

Without any previous knowledge some parts may be hard enough to understand and must be listened several times, but in all, courses are good. And with the excellent help of the Hugo teammembers a good start for beginning to invest on the stockmarket.
The training was clear , practical and very informative. It covered the basics strategies in structured way. Great course for beginners and intermediate levels !
Thanks, Ebru Ozkan Canbolat

Very interesting course about bonds. It gave me a good understanding of this subject
Comprehensive regarding topics. Tests help in understanding video content. Written summaries equally helpful.
Room for improvement: focus of projected platform (often out of focus); consistency in terminology (rarely), interpunction in test regularly incorrect, creating a bit of confusion
Good explanations supported by the videos that are very easy to follow.
The tests rigth after help you to consolidate the knowledge you got and retain some important content.
In some of the videos the sound was a bit too soft.
Excellent forum for introducing - through theoretical knowledge - starters into the world of investing.
However, in my case, the costs per module are charged to my low investment amount.

I was interested in options but didn’t have enough knowledge to actually trade. This course gave me all I need to know to feel almost a pro to deal.
This definitely is the best course I could find and I enjoyed doing it. I definitely recommend it to everybody who wants to know all about options and wants to feel secure to really deal and earn money!

Thank you so much! Happy Learnings and Trade Saf€
I did the bonds course with academy for investors, it's pretty cool how practical the videos are and the calculations and if you need more time you just pause and replay. The practical tips on buying bonds were super helpful. Now, I feel confident building a bond portfolio that suits my goals as I prefer not too take too much risk as a beginner investor.
It was a great journey with Academy for Investor.
My mentor "Martin" is really awesome.
Highly Recommended!

I just finished the "Investing for Beginners" course at the Academy for Investors, and it was amazing! The examples were easy to understand, and I loved that it's in video format, so I could watch it from anywhere—no confusing documents!
The teachers explained everything so well, using real stories that made it fun to learn. This course is perfect for people like me who are new to investing. It made everything less complicated and gave me the confidence to make smart choices.
Big thanks to the Academy for Investors for making such a helpful course!
I enrolled in the 'Investing for Beginners' course with the goal of expanding my understanding of the stock market and potentially making some initial investments. The course description mentioned periodic meetings with instructors, so I initially expected just a few touchpoints throughout the duration of the course. To my delight, I've been consistently meeting with my exceptionally knowledgeable instructor for the past five months. Far from leaving me to navigate this complex field on my own, my instructor has provided unwavering support and valuable insights that have been instrumental in my journey towards becoming a more confident investor. The ongoing guidance I've received has exceeded all my expectations and has been invaluable in setting me on a path to financial literacy and independence.
Great course to learn more about how to start on the stock market, I did the stocks for beginners and now I am fully confident on making my first steps investing in stocks. Especially the bonus course on ETFs was very helpful and showed me I do not have to thrust on main stream banks with expensive funds they have been trying to sell me all my life.
I am ready to get started! so much handson really pratical tips. Thank you! I highly recommend.
