Training Course Basic Information


Company is engaged in various financial activities, cooperating with national and international payment services in USA and Europe. Now, the company is expanding its business activity on the territory of UK. Both jobs are considered as office-based and home-based, so that you may choose your working hours and your job-schedule at the first meeting that will be held on fourth training day.
Before you start to work, you should pass a free 10-days training course to practice with software and learn theoretical materials ( and other documents) preparing you for all the duties and future responsibilities. After you complete the free training course, company guarantees your employment within one business day (all necessary assignments will be discussed on the 1st interview already – as soon as your local supervisor receives your practical and test results).
The training course is distant, except for two personal meetings with one of the company’s managers in your city. It combines both practical and theoretical part for each lesson. The lessons will be assisted and controlled online by your local supervisor and distantly (only during the 1st lesson) by the training manager. While studying, you will permanently move from the easiest and the simplest tasks to levels that are more complicated. You will receive studying materials that you should learn and strengthen then your knowledge by passing tests after each practical part.

The training days do not have to be consecutive (you can make breaks for one or several days if it's necessary).




Our trading training courses include the following steps:

1. Initial professional level check (distantly coordinated by training manager): Accounts. Payment systems. Immediate transfers.
2. Determinants of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates.
3. Access to company’s software (trading platform & financial messaging network).
4. Types of Markets. Requests handling. Databases.
5. Brokerage and investment banking. Types of investments.
6. Exchanges between payment systems. Records of different transactions. Reports.

8. Interest Rates and Interest Rate Products.
9. Accounting documents. Financial Engineering.
10. Practical usage of training experience. Workday rehearsal with Key Trader (local supervisor).Practical usage of training experience.
















Initial professional level check (instructions for the 1st lesson).

1. Your Training Manager (TM) calls prescribe you into the list of trade-trainees and to confirm that everything is ready for the start of practical part of the Lesson. (The training manager will assist you by the phone to report about your skills to organize, calculate, communicate, count, etc.)
2. Then TM informs when the money for practicing with elementary operations and your training wage £30 are available on the account that you have specified for training. (The exact amount can’t be specified at the moment since the training money goes from one training person to another by a chain: company sends the initial amount to the 1st trainee, he/she takes £30 as the training wage and sends to the 2nd trainee the rest of the amount after deduction of the commission for the transaction; the 2nd trainee takes £30 and sends to the 3rd trainee the rest minus the commission etc.(subject to the number of the trainees before you in the training chain, the amount that you receive can be different).
3. You call your TM after withdrawing the total amount to receive new details.
First, £30 you should take for yourself as your personal training wage for the lesson (you may leave it on your account) and the rest of the amount you will use for practicing with Money Gram and Western Union payment systems. Then you go to the nearest Money Gram location to perform a transaction using the data you will receive from your personal manager. Pay attention to the details to be able to compare and learn the differences between this and other financial services.
The Receipt that you get from the Money Gram managers has to be saved.
5. Your TM will provide your practical results according to all references to your local supervisor and compose several questions to check your initial professional level. After you complete the practical part, you will receive theoretical materials. You should answer questions in the test form and send it back to company’s e-mail address within next 24 hours. Some of the questions will concern your practicing for the first training day, some of them will be based on your results (to confirm your skills, abilities, etc).The deadline for sending out the test form: next workday, 6:00 pm.

In response to this email, please specify the day when you are ready to start the training. Your personal training manager will contact you by the phone. So, please, make sure to stay accessible by the phones provided.

You mean "sort code", right? This will probably result in a fraudulent transfer sent to your account. As Bryon said, contact your bank. Do not withdraw any money until the fraudulent transfer is reversed.

Thanks for posting the emails!

Cormier Financial Group is the world's favorite provider.....


This sloppiness only indicates the scale on which these cut and paste 'doppelganger' websites are being produced on a slapdash basis purely to snare victims.

In nearly all of the promising areas of development in the Forex industry Howell International Management has developed and implemented.......


To suggest that the clueless morons behind these websites have any competence in anything is laughable considering that they can't even copy and paste accurately.

Since June 2012 we have offered trading accounts which often do not have any analogues on the market.


Absolute piffling drivel suitable only for comedy purposes. :=)
