I have learnt far more from free online videos
LEARN to Trade asks those who sign up to its courses to provide a few words to ‘inspire others’. But the company is unlikely to want to use the comments of student Raghav.
The self-employed design consultant from Coventry signed up to a course last year but feels bitterly disappointed by the experience.
The 26-year-old says: ‘I have learnt more through free YouTube videos.
‘Learn to Trade spent a long time selling the dream rather than teaching me how to achieve it.
‘They made it look so good I forgot about why I came along, which was to learn.’
Enticed by the idea of reaching financial freedom he signed up to an additional ‘Unlimited Wealth’ training scheme. It was priced at £15,000, but Raghav could not afford that sum, so he says the firm let him pay £5,000.
After a few months of trading Raghav realised this path was not going to make him rich.
If anything he reckons he has made no money trading, but is now down £7,500 in course fees.
