An education in investment aims to teach students the skills that may be required to perform successfully in a number of related careers. Some of these occupations include wealth management consultant, financial planner and investment performance analyst.

Courses are individual classes that can be taken at universities, colleges, junior colleges, and trade schools worldwide. For even greater flexibility, many schools also offer online classes. Students can take individual classes or pursue degree programs.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
