Online Trading Academy

IRVINE, CA (Dec. 12, 2007) - London, home to the London Stock Exchange and one of the world’s leading marketplaces, is also the home of Online Trading Academy UK. This Online Trading Academy location, which opened a year ago, is offering British traders a chance to learn using the same tools, techniques and analysis that pros use worldwide. Students here work in state-of-the-art classrooms using the same unique “hands-on” approach to learning that has made Online Trading Academy the world leader in trader education.

Led by owner Georgie Cox, Online Trading Academy London set student enrollment records during the month December 2007, further proving the increasing popularity of the program abroad. “Students often tell me that their education here far exceeded their expectations,” said Cox. “Traders speak a universal language and Online Trading Academy can help students worldwide to crack the code and trade more effectively and with better understanding of all the ins-and-outs.”

Cox came to Online Trading Academy after a partnership with Skillnet, a British training organization specializing in apprenticeships for the automotive engineering sector. Under Cox’s guidance Skillnet grew from 160 apprentices and 90 employees to over 300 apprentices and 190 employees. The company that was once unprofitable was now seeing annual profits of nearly $700,000.

Cox decided it was time for a new challenge and became interested in trading after selling her share of Skillnet to her partner. It was during this time that Cox met Eyal Shahar, Online Trading Academy president, and soon after made the decision to open Online Trading Academy UK.

“I was really impressed by Eyal and the ethos of the company,” said Cox. “Online Trading Academy’s product is quite unique. Whether they are beginners or experienced traders they will benefit greatly from their time spent at Online Trading Academy.”

Online Trading Academy believes that the best way for students to learn is by actually working in a real trading environment. Students are given “live accounts” on which to work and the academy covers all their commissions and losses. Innovations like this and fully reimbursed student tuitions in the form of discounted tickets from affiliated brokers have made Online Trading Academy the pioneering institution in the field of financial education.

“I get a great deal of satisfaction when our clients finish their courses,” said Cox. “The feedback that I get from them is fantastic and it makes me proud to be offering them such a quality education.”
