About
The Oil Trader Academy programme is structured as hands-on presentations followed by trading real market scenarios on computer simulations.
With the global oil markets being subject to extreme volatility and change due to a series of geopolitical events, this is the ideal time and opportunity to understand the drivers of oil price movements and tools at your disposal to protect against and trade around your organisation’s market position.

The course will be fully interactive with teams analysing positions and learning through case studies and trading simulations.
This module will provide participants with in-depth insights into the world of physical crude oil and products trading, equipping them with valuable knowledge and skills for success in this industry.
