SkillsFuture Approved Course:
Complete Guide to Trading & Investing for Singaporeans
Hi, Spencer here, and I have some good news to share! 😄
For those who have been reading my blog since 2009, you will know that I have stopped doing live workshops for the past few years to focus on my non-profit ventures.
But recently, I was invited (with a lot of heavy persuasion) by an established event organiser to spare some time to teach a SkillsFuture workshop, so that I can share my skills with my fellow Singaporeans.
SkillsFuture is a national movement to provide Singaporeans with the opportunities to develop their fullest potential throughout life, regardless of their starting points.
All Singaporeans aged 25 and above will receive an opening credit of S$500 from January 2016.
So, long story short, they have got the approval for my training materials, which means this workshop is fully subsidised and you can attend it for free by using your SkillsFuture credits.
I am extremely excited because I have packed as much content as I can into this one day workshop, and I think it will really be beneficial to Singaporeans who are keen to start learning more about how to take care of their finances.
P.S. Each intake is only limited to 20 slots, and I’m not sure how many intakes I can commit to, so register early to avoid disappointment! 💰 First-come, first-serve! 💪🏻 See you there! 🍻
This introductory workshop is specially structured for a Singapore audience, focusing on basic core skills of trading and investing which can be applied by newbies with minimal time, and can allow them to generate better returns for retirement or financial security.
Highly recommended for beginners who want to get started, and for those who want to achieve consistency and take your results to the next level.
If you are a seasoned trader, or if you are based outside of Singapore, it is recommended that you check out our online-based “Trading Mastery Program” instead.

Q3: I am a complete beginner, is this workshop suitable for me?
This is a beginner workshop, so it will be perfect for you.
It is meant for people who have zero or little prior experience in trading or investing.
Q4: I am already a seasoned trader, is this workshop suitable for me?
If you already have some trading experience, our “Trading Mastery Program” might be more suitable for you.
Q5: What’s the difference between this workshop and the "Trading Mastery Program"?
This Skillsfuture workshop is a 1-day live interactive workshop created for Singaporeans, with a focus on building an early retirement portfolio, by learning about different portfolio strategies and products available. It also covers the basics of trading and technical analysis, such as how to read charts, time markets, and use different tools to improve your analysis.
The “Trading Mastery Program (TMP)” is our flagship training program which we have run for over 7 years, and is an online self-study course which is catered for a global audience. It covers 8 comprehensive modules of video tutorials ranging from basics to advanced, including our 4 proprietary trading setups. It also comes with lifetime access to private communities and chat support, a customised trading plan, an 8-week roadmap, and daily trading signals.

Q7: What devices do I need to trade?
You can trade on any device, including your desktop, laptop, or any mobile device.
However, for this course, it is recommended to use a laptop since it will be easier to see the charts.
Q8: Do I need a trading account or any software?
You do not need it for this workshop, but during the training I will share which brokers and software I use, so that when you are ready to start you can choose which ones you prefer.
Q9: Can I attend this workshop if I am not based in Singapore? (only relevant to live workshop)
This workshop is open to anyone, but if you do not qualify for the Skillsfuture subsidy (given to Singaporeans aged 25 and above), then you will have to pay for the workshop in cash instead.
Do note that the training venue is located in Singapore as well.
If you are based overseas, the “Trading Mastery Program” might be more suitable for you since it is an online training course.

The workshop is a full day event, from 9am to 6pm.
Please arrive at 8.30am for registration.

You might want to bring a sweater as it can get cold.
