Before you buy
Is this financial advice?
No. The information provided on this platform does not constitute investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice and should not be treated as such. All content is for informational purposes only. You should consult with a licensed financial advisor before making any investment decisions. We are not licensed by the AFM to provide individual investment advice.
Do I need an account?
Not to pay. You pay first, then create a free Amsterdam Investment Club account with the email you paid with (or sign in if you already have one). The course is tied to that account, so you can open it from any device by signing in.
Do I need to know anything first?
Part one starts from what an option is, so no. It moves quickly though. If you have never traded anything, expect to pause and rewind, which the chapters make easy.
What happens after six months?
Access ends and the portal closes. Your certificate stays valid and stays on your profile. If you want back in after that, get in touch.
Are there subtitles?
Yes, in sixteen languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Japanese and Korean. Pick one in the player's Subtitles menu at any point.
Can I download the video?
No. The video streams only, and the PDFs you download carry your email address on every page. Sharing either one ends your access.
Is there VAT?
Every price shown is the total you pay, €59.95, with 21% Dutch VAT already included. If you are a business inside the EU with a valid VAT number, you can enter it at checkout.
Who is behind it?
