I recently completed the Zac Hartley’s Stock Market Fundamentals course which is hosted on SkillShare. For those of you that are not aware, Zac Hartley is a Canadian YouTuber who frequently posts about his views and experiences in the stock markets, what stocks he will be trading in the coming weeks, investment suggestions (not advise), as well as interview’s with CEO’s of the organizations he is interested and/or invested in. As part of his entrepreneur ventures, Zac created a Stock Market Fundamentals Course hosted on SkillShare. All and all the course was a great experience, the content was presented well and covered a wide variety of topics, all of which are very useful no matter what trading and investing style. Best part was I completed this course for completely free.
If you watch Zac’s video’s anytime he mentions his course, he mentions that it is hosted on SkillShare (an online platform for learning and training courses) which offers a free trial for new members, and if you can complete the course within this free trial period (and cancel once you complete it) you get the course for free. In order to sign-up for SkillShare account you do need to provide a credit card at the time of sign-up, and after the 1 first month the cost is $214/CAD annually. The sign-up process was fairly quick, and the SkillShare platform is very user-friend, quick, responsive, and easy to use. If I needed another course I’d definitely use this platform again.
The course is ~10hrs in length and covers everything from stock market background and history, investments and trading instruments, how trades and markets work (behind the scenes), order types, as well as selecting and analyzing potential stocks for trading. It took me 2 days to complete the course, but to expedite this I was playing the videos at 125% speed. As the quality of the audio and video was really good, at this increased speed, the content was still easily heard and understood. I also noticed that during the course videos there was an indicator of how many other people were participating and during my time there was between 300-315 other people taking the course at the same time, which goes to show the popularity of this course.
Overall, the Zac Hartley’s Stock Market Fundamentals course was a great introduction to the financial market, and I would recommend this to anyone new to stock trading or investing. The entire experience was enjoyable and seamless including the content as well as the learning platform SkillShare. For those new to the Stock Market this is excellent course to start you off on your path of success in the markets.
