Amplify’s hands-on finance and investing training was the best thing we did all year. Our Economics and Business Studies pupils loved it, with many making their Amplify experience the focal point of their personal statements.

WORKX
DAILY SCHEDULE

EXPERIENCE FINANCE &
FIND YOUR PERFECT ROLE

We have all sat at the back of a lecture theatre, taking notes, but not paying full attention. WorkX is the opposite. Alongside interactive, theory focused sessions, students will have the opportunity to put theory into practice through a daily simulation, used by some of the world’s largest financial institutions.

In these simulations, students will experience the skills and temperament required for a variety of different finance and investing roles. At the end of each simulation, students will be given a comprehensive breakdown of their performance, highlighting strengths and growth areas.

ACCREDITED
QUALIFICATION

The WorkX Summer School will give you a Level 4 Accredited Diploma from the London Institute of Banking and Finance.
