Sporting Solutions, the B2B division of the Sporting Index Group, is collaborating with the University of Salford to establish a Trading School of Excellence.
Students that successfully complete the course will be awarded a Post-Graduate Certificate in Sports Pricing and Trading – a higher education qualification between a bachelor's degree and a masters.
“The TSE is a groundbreaking initiative that will reinforce both our core trading values and our commitment to innovation,” said Simon Trim, managing director of Sporting Solutions.
“Comprising a range of customised programmes and modules, the TSE will further develop the core competencies of the company’s trading staff, serving to enhance the professional development of its traders and maintain the reputation that Sporting Solutions has for employing the highest quality traders in the industry,” added Trim.
The TSE will be launched in September and will be hosted within the Centre for Sports Business at Salford Business School.
Dr Ian McHale of Salford Business School, said: “With a record of world-renowned research and academic expertise in sports statistics and analytics, economics and finance, the Centre for Sports Business can offer a wide range of training and consultancy opportunities for the sports industry.
“The Trading School of Excellence will give Sporting Solutions' staff the best possible training in the field of pricing and trading from some of the UK’s leading sports analysts and statisticians,” added McHale.
