Investing 101 classes and events

Whether you’re just starting out with investing or looking to hone your skills, it’s never too late to learn. The ASC offers an in-class Investing 101 course with Chinook Learning Services in Calgary and Metro Continuing Education in Edmonton.

Investing 101 is a plain-language course designed to enhance your financial literacy including developing a foundational overview of the stock market, investing, compound interest, and risk and return. You’ll also learn the basics on how to make well-informed investing decisions and how to spot and avoid investment fraud. The class is offered multiple times a year so check back if these dates don’t fit your schedule.

The ASC is in your community. Engaging with Albertans is an important part of what we do, so if you have an event that you think would be a good fit for the CheckFirst team, please contact us for more information.
