Our mission to disrupt conventional training and recruitment in finance started in 2009, when markets started to behave in a wildly different way to what many practitioners, academics and experts had expected.
We wanted to build better, practical training that would be relevant to the markets today and the demands of working within them.
Innovation in technology is core to our approach, and now our simulations and practical assessments are used by many of the world's largest financial firms. Their objective is to either help their new hires get desk ready for the role, or to be connected with high potential candidates with a proven track record.
The simulations we have built are wide and diverse. Below are just some examples of our platforms and how they are used by different institutional clients around the world.

As the industry and roles within it continue to change, we will continue to innovate to ensure our technology is always cutting edge.
