I've taken several investment courses before, but this is the first one that actually addresses the realities of investing in Ghana. The stock analysis techniques and the real estate valuation methods were particularly valuable. Within three months of completing the course, I made my first stock investment and am now researching properties in East Legon.

The course provided excellent information about Ghana's investment landscape. I especially appreciated the modules on Treasury bills and the Ghana Stock Exchange. My only suggestion would be to include more case studies of successful investments. That said, the instructors were very knowledgeable and responsive to questions.

As a Ghanaian living abroad, I've always wanted to invest back home but didn't know where to start. This course gave me the confidence to begin investing in Ghana. The step-by-step guidance on opening a brokerage account, analyzing stocks, and evaluating real estate from abroad was invaluable. I've already started building a diversified portfolio of Ghanaian investments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course suitable for beginners?

+

While we explain investment concepts clearly, this course assumes a basic understanding of financial concepts like interest, inflation, and risk/return relationships. If you're completely new to finance, we recommend taking our Financial Foundations for Ghanaians course first to build a solid base of knowledge before diving into investments.

How much money do I need to start implementing what I learn?

+

You can begin applying the principles with as little as GH₵500 for Treasury bill investments. For stocks, most brokerage accounts in Ghana can be opened with GH₵1,000-2,000. Real estate investments typically require more capital, but we also cover strategies for pooling resources and investing in smaller property projects. The course is designed to be applicable regardless of your starting capital.

Will this course teach me how to get rich quickly?

+

No. This course teaches sound, sustainable investment strategies that build wealth over time. We focus on legitimate investment approaches based on fundamental analysis and diversification, not speculative get-rich-quick schemes. Successful investing requires patience, discipline, and a long-term perspective, which are the values we emphasize throughout the curriculum.

Can I take this course if I'm a Ghanaian living abroad?

+

Absolutely! We have a dedicated section on investing in Ghana from abroad, covering the legal requirements, remote account setup, currency considerations, and strategies for managing investments from a distance. Many of our students are Ghanaians in the diaspora who want to invest back home.

How practical is this course? Will I be able to start investing immediately?

+

This course is extremely practical. We provide step-by-step guides for opening investment accounts, templates for analyzing investment opportunities, and specific criteria for evaluating stocks and properties in Ghana. Many students make their first investment before even completing the course, as we guide you through the process of researching and executing investment decisions.

How is the course content delivered?

+

The course includes a mix of video lessons, written materials, downloadable resources, and interactive elements. We also conduct live online sessions every two weeks where instructors analyze current market opportunities and answer student questions. All course materials can be accessed from computers, tablets, or smartphones, and you'll have lifetime access to the content, including updates.
