FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
can anyone learn to trade forex ?
The way our courses are structured we assume you have no knowledge of financial trading and we have incredible success rates on teaching people in a way that anyone can learn.
Is The accreditation and cPD award real ?
Yes is the simple answer. We are a fully accredited academy providing qualifications and CPD awards. The ProTrader Masterclass has for many years now been assessed as equivalent to a Level 7 qualification so the content you are getting is masters level
Do I need a lot of money to start ?
There are many ways to start and as an example you can open a demo account that costs nothing and trade pretend money to gain knowledge before you go to a live money account. Even then you can start with £100 on a live account.
Do You Have Accreditation Documents ?
We have the full accreditation approval through our partner academy ASTC in UAE. The courses are listed on their database and listed on the website https://astcdubai.com and have CPD awards through our CPD approval institute.
Do The Courses Work ?
Each Course from Forex Basics to the Protrader Masterclass do exactly what they say on the website. You also get strategies with each of the courses that are proven profit makers.
HoW GOOD ARE THE TRADE Opportunities ?
You can never guarantee anything in trading but our extensive past performance means our members get around 7% profit per month on average.
When Do Trade Opportunities Happen ?
Our team are trading most of the day so a trade alert can be any time from 08:30hrs until 20:30hrs UK time. We expect around 5 trade opportunities per day but some days there will be more and we can have up to 10. These are all provided in real time from the Trade Opportunities app on your phone or through https://uktatradeops.com
Can I Trade These Trade Opportunities Myself ?
The trade alerts are generated when one of our institutional trading team place a trade. Therefore if you so wish you can take the alert details and place the trade yourself on your trading account.
What's the difference between Forex Basics, Intermediate Trader, and ProTrader?
They're three levels of the same KHDA-accredited syllabus. Forex Basics covers modules 1–6 (Level 3), Intermediate Trader covers modules 1–16 (Level 5), and ProTrader covers the full 26-module syllabus (Level 7). Each is a genuine, standalone qualification.
What do I actually receive when I complete a course?
On completion, you'll receive your KHDA-accredited qualification, a CPD certificate documenting your training hours via Open CPD, and your UK Trading Academy course qualification certificate.
Is the CPD certificate the same as my accreditation?
No — they're two different things. KHDA is your actual accrediting body and issues your qualification. The CPD certificate, via Open CPD, is a separate certificate documenting the hours you've completed. Both are included with every course.
What happens if I don't pass an exam first time?
You can resit any exam up to 2 further times (3 attempts in total). Your qualification is only issued once you've completed the required study hours and passed all exams at 60% or above. If you fail twice then please contact us and one of our team will assist you in the area of concern before taking it a third time.
Can I upgrade from one course to another?
Forex Basics students can upgrade directly to ProTrader, picking up modules 7–26 — you'll get a 5% discount code on ProTrader as a thank-you. Because of the number of exams involved, there's currently no upgrade path from Intermediate Trader to ProTrader.
Do I get access to live training sessions?
Yes — every student, on all three courses, gets access to our bi-weekly, one-hour live training sessions, posted in your Members Announcements area for as long as your course access is active.
Is Trade Opportunities included with my course?
No, Trade Opportunities is a separate product with its own subscription. As a course student, you'll receive a lifetime 10% discount code, available in your course materials.
Can I pay monthly instead of in full?
Yes, for Intermediate Trader and ProTrader. Forex Basics is one-off payment only. See each course page for current plan pricing.
Does UK Trading Academy hold or manage my money?
No, not under any of our services. For Managed Accounts and Copy Trading, UKTA provides the trading team to your regulated broker — your funds stay in your own broker account at all times, and we never take custody of your money.
Can I get a refund after enrolling?
No — because digital course materials and software are accessible immediately, and KHDA registration is processed and paid for immediately upon purchase, all courses are non-refundable once enrolment is complete. We'd recommend reviewing the syllabus and getting in touch with any questions before you enrol.
