Feedback de Álvaro Salazar Conocí el curso de bolsa gracias a AUNE a finales de mayo. El trato que recibí de ellos fue maravilloso. Me ayudaron tanto en el papeleo como en buscar residencia, estoy muy agradecido. Se trataba de 3 cursos, uno por semana, pero con un mismo fin, perfeccionar el conocimiento sobre los mercados financieros. Dicho curso se llevaba acabo en la universidad LSBF, situada en Tower Hill, una prestigiosa universidad de Londres. Durante la primera semana el curso se dividía en dos partes, una teórica y otra práctica. En la primera teníamos una serie de seminarios sobre los mercados financieros, muy enriquecedores y prácticos. En la parte teórica nos centrábamos en el uso de Bloomberg. Al tratarse de una semana, no pudimos profundizar mucho en dicho programa, pero si que aprendimos lecciones avanzadas sobre su uso. En la segunda semana subimos a la planta del LAT. En ella nos asignaban a cada estudiante un número de usuario, con el fin de poder operar ficticiamente con el FXCM. Las dos últimas semanas de curso se basaban principalmente en conocer el funcionamiento del FXCM. Teníamos unas clases teóricas de 2 horas, en ellas aprendíamos como estudiar y valorar las gráficas de cara a futuras posiciones en el mercado, y una vez terminada la clase nos íbamos a los terminales. Me gustaría resaltar todo lo que he aprendido en el LAT. En esas dos semanas he aprendido a utilizar el FXCM a nivel profesional, y de hecho ya estoy invirtiendo con una cuenta real. La metodología que se llevaba acabo en dicha escuela de inversión era excelente, y salgo muy contento del trato que recibimos por parte de los mentores hacia nosotros, los alumnos. Por último, me gustaría recomendar este curso a todos los estudiantes/profesionales que quieran encaminar su carrera hacia el mundo de los mercados financieros. Alvaro Salazar
