When it comes to learning about finance and particularly when learning to trade the stock and forex market it’s important to know that you are learning from an accredited company and experienced individuals. So, we explored the accreditation level of this company and found that they are CPD Accredited and Ofqual regulated. This is a high standard of accreditation and allows their education centre to provide level 3, 5 and 7 diplomas in financial trading. A level 7 diploma is the equivalent level to a master’s degree. Educating individuals to a qualification level of this standard means their team are either accredited to the same level or has vast market knowledge. We explored this avenue further and discovered that their training recently won 'best global online trading course provider by SME' and Samuel also won an award called the 'business person of the year award' in 2022.

After reviewing further details on their website, we discovered that they offer their students access to the company’s trade floor so they can trade with like-minded students who are also trading the stock and foreign exchange markets. Providing their students with the option to learn online anywhere in the world or person has its advantages for both sides and the fact they have a physical presence is reassuring. Their website also states that Samuel and Co Trading has been educating individuals since 2012, which is over ten years of activity in the education sector. Overall, based on the verified reviews, the accreditation offered and the awards they’ve won, this company receives a high review rating from us and we believe it is arguably a fantastic business to learn how to trade the stock and forex markets from.
