About the course
Our one-day introductory course will teach you how to use the tools of the London Metal Exchange (LME) for trading and managing your price risk. This training programme offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn directly from the LME on how best to use LME futures and options in order to benefit your business. Topics include how to lock-in future selling and purchasing prices, causes and management of price volatility. You will cover different hedging strategies and work through practical examples.
Classroom and virtual training
We offer our courses both in a classroom environment and virtually. Due to current UK government guidelines we are only able to offer our virtual solution at this moment in time.
All our courses, classroom and virtual, are trainer-led and offered in four locations or time zones: London, New York, Singapore, Dubai or their equivalent time zones. You will receive learning materials and if in London, have an opportunity to visit the Ring.
