New eLearning Courses Available

We are excited to announce the launch of BetterInvesting’s eLearning courses. These courses introduce a basic curriculum that is a precursor to becoming a stock investor and using the BetterInvesting tools. There are currently two courses live on our website: Stock Investing Basics, and Fundamentals of Stock Investing. The courses can be taken on an individual basis by learners to work autonomously at their own pace. They are also great tools for facilitating a group lesson. 

You can find the courses on the public and member sides of the BetterInvesting website. The website offers course descriptions and course access with no login needed. You can find the information on the BetterInvesting website by following the pathways below. 

Public site:

Tool tips

Check Your Access to the Online Tools: A common question we receive from members is, 'Do I have access to the Online Tools?' or 'When do I need to renew my Tools subscription?'. The answers are simple. After logging into the website, click on the white 'My Account' link in the upper right corner of the website header. Then, select the 'Product Subscription & Renewal' tab to view your subscriptions and expiration dates. If you are a member without tools or a Core member, this is where you can find the link to upgrade.
