“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.”
"ISFT provided me with the necessary knowledge, skills and mentorship to begin my journey as a professional trader."
