“I had the maths and an MBA, but never a real trading desk. This programme gave me that live platforms, real practitioners, actual trading decisions. In interviews, recruiters finally saw a market professional, not just another graduate and it helped me land a job in finance.”
“Spending eight weeks with ISFT, talking through trades and pushing through the tougher sessions everyday, changed the way I approached the markets and that change showed in my portfolio. I later presented the same portfolio as my track record during an interview and my current manager said it was my USP.”
