I don't have any certification, but in my A-levels (subject area: economics/administration) there was a voluntary project week organized by the DKB, Deutsche Bank and the stock exchange in Frankfurt. You could take part after class and learn more about what the stock exchange is, how it works, etc. It was all aimed at giving us as students more financial education and not letting our money rot in a savings account.
That's when the inner fire for the stock market was lit in me and a few months later I then took part in the savings bank's stock market simulation game 😇 I didn't know about the stock market license yet and I'll be happy to take a look at that. For people who don't work in this field, I always wonder whether these (paid) certifications are worthwhile at all. Investing in your own education is always good, but does it give you so much added value that it gives you an advantage when it comes to private investing? 🧐

@Staatsmann This is, of course, a valid question. If it is not taken over by the employer, it is not so attractive. I would not want to spend 5-10k for such courses. However, anything less than that is worth considering for me, in the sense of an investment in my own knowledge.

@Staatsmann Cool thing with the project week... That should be mandatory even in the grades below... Someone from the Ministry of Education here who reads and implements this? 🔥 Financial education belongs in every type of school

•@GoDividend In the end, this project outside of class was only possible because the people who did it were former students of my class teacher at the time. A certain amount of financial education really has to be included in the curriculum, and if it's covered in ethics classes or something like that.

Many years ago I was in the Stuttgart Stock Exchange Club, the content was very meager, but now I'm in VTAD and I'm learning a lot. I can only recommend it.
