The "Smart Investing in 8 Easy Lessons" Course

Perhaps you aren't ready to commit to a 30+ hour investing study course as offered by the more advanced NAOI courses. Or perhaps your goals for investor education are less aggressive.

The "Smart Investing in 8 Easy Lessons" course will give you the basic knowledge, structure and resources you need to organize your investing activities, find and evaluate funds and stocks and monitor your portfolio to keep in inline with your goals. For many people this will be sufficient. 

But don't think this course is in the league of an "Investing for Morons" book. It is serious education, it is presented in an academically rigorous environment and it takes dedicated effort to complete. We estimate that the average investor will require between 8 and 12 hours to finish the material and pass the online tests. The specifications presented below show the depth of this course.

After completing this course you will have the knowledge you need to decide if you want to dig deeper into the world of the investing and perhaps strive for higher investing goals. If so, graduates of this course will be given a discount for moving up to one of the more advanced NAOI Study Courses.
