The Investment Basics course demystified the stock market for me. I've had savings sitting in a low-interest account for years because I was afraid of investing. After completing this course, I've made my first investments on the Ghana Stock Exchange with confidence. The simulation platform was especially helpful for practicing before using real money.
What sets this course apart is its focus on the Ghanaian investment landscape. Most investment courses I've tried are too focused on US markets. The specific information about the Ghana Stock Exchange, local mutual funds, and government securities was exactly what I needed. The instructors are clearly experienced and explain complex topics in an accessible way.
This course provides an excellent foundation for beginners. The templates for analyzing investments are very practical and I still use them regularly. My only suggestion would be to include more content on international investing options for Ghanaians who want to diversify beyond local markets. Overall, this was well worth the investment and has already helped me generate returns that far exceed the course cost.
