I took the discover business academy and the world business academy with Dr. Gerard Dericks, and I must say I loved them! I learned much about investing, stocks, prices, macro and microeconomics, and more. They were engaging, fun courses well-organized, and adequately explained by a phenomenal professor. I recommend this course to anyone with a small amount of mathematical knowledge and a large amount of passion. It is excellent for anyone interested in learning about anything and everything, from market equilibrium to deep learning.
The course was really engaging! I was not the only international student, and I didn’t feel any pressure. The only con was that I had to go to bed very late because the classes started at 1 am in my time zone. The professor elaborated various topics, and we watched videos and worked in groups, so there were a lot of things to do. The knowledge I got is also practical and applicable.
I took the World Business Academy course with Dr Dericks - it was absolutely awesome! I recommend for those who need a nudge into the right financial direction. He provided helpful resources for after the course as well (podcasts, books, recordings of classes), as well as his personal insight. 10/10 recommend.
I chose to take the World Business Academy Course at World Scholars Academy and it was very helpful. We learned a lot about the education, business, and investing world. I am planning on going into business in the future, so this course was very helpful in providing new knowledge. Anyone who is searching for a career or interested in business should take this course.

When to Apply:
It is recommended to enroll for your desired program session as soon as possible. However, we are able to accept a student onto our programs up until the day they start, provided that the session has not yet filled. For summer courses it is also better to apply earlier so we can schedule your first one-on-one tutorial with your instructor prior to your first class, and so you have a chance to consult your instructor's recommended preparatory materials before your classes begin (though this is optional).
