Real Student Projects

See what our students actually create during their learning journey. These aren't marketing examples — they're genuine work from people who started exactly where you are now.

From Beginner to Builder

Sarah came to us last spring with zero investment experience. She'd tried reading finance books but felt overwhelmed by jargon and conflicting advice. Six months later, she built her first diversified portfolio using fundamental analysis techniques.

How Learning Actually Happens

Foundation Building (Weeks 1-6)

Students start with basic concepts — what stocks actually represent, how bonds work, understanding risk versus return. No complex math yet, just solid fundamentals.

Market basics Risk concepts Reading statements
Analysis Skills (Weeks 7-16)

This is where it gets interesting. Students learn to evaluate companies, understand financial ratios, and spot red flags. They work with real data from Canadian markets.

Company analysis Financial ratios Market research Risk assessment
Portfolio Construction (Weeks 17-26)

Students design their own investment strategies. They learn about diversification, asset allocation, and how to build portfolios that match their actual life goals.

Asset allocation Diversification Strategy design Goal setting
Real-World Application (Weeks 27-36)

The final phase involves implementing strategies with small amounts of real money. Students learn about taxes, fees, and the psychological aspects of investing.

The most rewarding part is watching someone go from being intimidated by investing to confidently making their own decisions. I see people transform their relationship with money, and that's worth more than any return percentage.
