> What course did you do with Amplify Trading and when?

I attended the professional training In-house - April 2018, and continued In-house the professional training May 2018.

> What was your motivation for doing the course?

I worked in accounts for over 15 years within the Oil and Gas industry, but I was looking for a change of career and new challenges.

> Did you have any prior experience in trading before taking part in the professional training?

No previous experience in trading.

> Why did you choose Amplify Trading?

Reputation/professionalism.

I have attended a few other seminars for various companies, however after attending Amplify Trading's seminar I found it more professional and could see myself learning, achieving my goals.

> What were the mentors like at Amplify Trading?

The mentors were great and very approachable, I couldn't thank enough everyone at Amplify Trading for the knowledge I gained and for the experience.

> How has the experience benefited you personally?

After completing the course my goal was to get a job in the finance industry.

Having gained experience in finance within Oil and Gas and with the knowledge I gained through the course in trading financial markets with Amplify Trading, it was clear I was more suited to work within Treasury.

I'm pleased to say just before the Christmas holiday's I've started my new role in the Treasury Department within LMAX Global and I am delighted to be part of the trading world.
