I've read many investment books, but they were all focused on Western markets and didn't apply well to Ghana. This course changed everything for me. The step-by-step guides for actually purchasing T-bills and opening a brokerage account were worth the price alone. Within two weeks of starting the course, I had made my first investments and now feel confident expanding my portfolio.

The monthly Q&A sessions with actual Ghanaian investment professionals are invaluable. I was able to ask specific questions about my portfolio and received personalized advice that I couldn't get anywhere else. The module on real estate investing was particularly helpful as it addressed the unique challenges of property investment in Ghana, including land title issues.

The course content is excellent, but I found some sections moved a bit too quickly for a complete beginner. I would have appreciated more basic explanations in the stock analysis module. That said, the support was great - whenever I had questions, I received detailed responses within a day. The simulation platform is also really helpful for practicing without risk.
