I also did the home study course earlier this year. Hoax. Cost $4000. I spent about six weeks going through the material (most of which just promotes other courses/seminars which cost alot more money) before deciding to get a refund. I didnt bother going to the seminar because the refund expires on the third day of the seminar which is pretty suss anyway. I ended up spending about $6000 on a share trading course with wealth within and am really happy with it. Slightly more money but very good course. Did 6 month fast track and will be finished in about 3 weeks. I would recommend it to any one new to trading.
