Trading qualifications,
not just courses.

Every rung is a real qualification. Start as a complete beginner and climb towards institutional standard, at your own pace.

Before you start

Two questions people ask first.

Q1

Do I need a lot of money to start?

No. You don’t need any trading capital to learn. Everyone practises on a demo account first, and funded prop firm accounts later let you trade external capital instead of your own savings. Never trade money you can’t afford to lose.

Q2

I know nothing about trading. Is that okay?

It’s ideal. Level 2 assumes zero knowledge. Two class days in Stargate take a complete beginner to the exam and a real qualification, and Pip is there whenever a word doesn’t make sense. No experience needed.

“I’ve tried every way of trading forex, and what they teach here you won’t find elsewhere. There’s a proper structure after the course. It isn’t a one time thing like most.”

“I’d recommend CLF to anyone getting into FX, beginner or advanced. Be ready to work hard, but Shoaib breaks everything into simple elements anyone can follow.”

“Spent months on hour long videos that never made me profitable. As soon as I started CLF I was taught things no one in the industry teaches. The knowledge is priceless.”

How do I know this isn’t one of those scams?

Don’t take our word for it, verify. Our company number is 11775846, our founder is named and searchable, our curriculum is published in full and our reviews are public. We promise no profits, sell no signals and use no countdown clocks. Search our name next to the word scam, then come and sit Level 2 before committing to anything bigger.

What is a trading qualification?

A structured, assessed programme that certifies you can trade the markets to a recognised standard. Our Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications cover trade planning, risk management, market structure and live execution, and are certified when you pass, unlike a typical online course.

Is it a recognised qualification?

Yes. We are an Approved Centre of VTCT Skills and endorsed by Training Qualifications UK. Every certificate can be checked on our public register using the certificate number or learner number.

Do I need any experience to start?

No. Level 2 builds a foundation for complete beginners, and also firms up the basics for traders who already use their own strategy from elsewhere.

Can I study in person or online?

Level 3 can be taken on our London trading floor or live online through Stargate, with the same instructor and the same qualification either way. Level 2 is held in Stargate on set dates, so you can take it from anywhere.

How much does it cost?

Fees depend on where you’re studying from. Pick your country in Stargate and you’ll see the full fee, with dates and seats, before you pay anything.

What’s the difference between the retail and institutional pathways?

The retail pathway, Level 2 to Level 3, teaches our method to trade your own and funded capital. The institutional pathway, Level 2 to Level 5 to Level 7, is the professional route towards trading public capital. Level 5 opens for enrolment in January 2027, and Level 7 is coming soon.
