About the Program


Testimonials

Trading and Investing Program

Shino Sato

"As a college student studying finance, learning the nuances of trading strategies that professional fund managers and traders use has never been part of the curriculum. this course is really detailed and comprehensive. I'm applying for some jobs this next year and have already received positive attention from interviewers that I earned this certificate. The certificate proves that I know things most people have to learn after they are hired."

Get Ahead

Noah Childers

"If you want to distinguish yourself for a finance job or internship, this is the way to do it. While someone may have a higher GPA than you, completing this program gives you focused skills that are relevant to your employer. One of my interviewers was really impressed with this certificate on my resume when we talked about it. He was not expecting me to know anything about options trading and specific trading strategies. I think this is what got me the offer."

Investing Program

Jack Morris

"For a long time I had been interested in learning more about trading and investing, but I never really knew where to get started. I found this course and could not be happier with the end result. This course is comprehensive and perfect for students trying to get into trading and investing, and will teach you all the skills you need to know to better yourself financially."

TMI Programs

Jennifer Sanchez

"This course is perfect for anyone who is interested in learning more about anything related to investing."

TMI Trading and Investing Certificate Program

Patrick Thompson

"I graduated from college about a year ago, and even after taking quite a few finance courses, I still felt that I learned next to nothing about how to invest. The course curriculum is perfect for people trying to learn to be more financially competent, and in my opinion, teaches essential skills that every college student should learn."

How to Invest

Kayla Stephenson

"Originally, I purchased this course because I was interested in learning more about buy-and-hold investing. After I got through a little bit of the course, I was fascinated with how detailed this program was. It made things that were previously very confusing to me seem very simple and easy. I am excited to use my new skills to try not only buy-and-hold investing, but things like day trading and options trading as well."

Best Investing Program

Gabriel Hansen

"I am a college student but I am not studying business, which is why I was originally skeptical about purchasing a trading and investing course. This course was worth every penny. It made learning how to invest very simple, even for me. I learned many skills that I never thought I would be able to master, and I am excited to use these skills in the future."

Love ThinkOrSwim

Logan Ezyk

"I downloaded ThinkOrSwim prior to enrolling in the trading and investing program, but I had no idea where to even start. There are many YouTube videos about the platform, but I was still very confused. I enrolled in this course and now feel like I am an expert in ThinkOrSwim. It is very detailed, and easy to understand. TMI did a great job making the course accessible for any level of trading experience."

TMI Investing Program

Nathan Sleade

"Prior to this course, I had done a little trading here and there, and I was looking for an affordable program to help me hone my skills. Many comprehensive trading programs are north of $400, and when I found this program by TMI I enrolled right away. It is a great program, and I increased my knowledge of trading and investing tenfold. I would recommend this course to anyone that wants to start/learn more about anything related to investing."

Learn How to Trade

Jake Powers

"Previously, I didn't have much of an interest in learning how to invest. It always seemed confusing, and over my head. I had a friend recommend this course to me, and I decided that it couldn't hurt to learn more about how to help yourself be financially stable. Very early into the course I was hooked. The material is very well explained, and easy to understand. This course is great, and I am excited for any future programs by TMI."
