The London Academy of Trading (LAT) has partnered with Australia’s Rugby Union Players Association (RUPA) to offer its suite of programmes to past and present professional rugby union players across Australia. RUPA members can enrol on one of LAT’s short courses in financial markets and trading, as well as specialist subjects such as options trading, cryptocurrencies or trading psychology.
“I would definitely endorse LAT,” says former RUPA President and Wallaby captain, Dave Porecki. “Having completed LAT’s Advanced Diploma Trading Course when I was playing in the UK, I was really impressed with the flexibility LAT offered to enable me to study around my rugby commitments. The programme was affordable, with great structure and excellent lecturers who really understood my situation and helped me successfully complete my diploma programme.”
Paddy Osborn, Managing Director of
LAT says: “We’re thrilled to establish this partnership with RUPA to enable professional rugby players to learn more about financial markets and trading. This will give them valuable knowledge, both for the present and for their future after their playing careers end.”
“Having had Dave Porecki and other UK Premiership rugby players complete our 12-week
Advanced Trading Course, we’ve now designed a 6-week Foundation Trading Programme to kick-start players’ knowledge. From there, they can start trading, or further develop developing their skills with our advanced or specialist courses.”
LAT’s curriculum and teaching approach will develop practical skills to support RUPA members to help them find future employment or to trade the markets for themselves.
The LAT programmes educate students how to apply learned knowledge in real-time markets in a disciplined and structured way, while considering both fundamental and technical aspects of trading.
Earlier this year, London Academy of Trading was crowned the Best Trading Courses Provider, UK, at the Global Excellence Awards 2024.
