Jump to sectionOur API Academy will give you a practical, working knowledge of APIs. We'll teach you the basic coding skills you'll need to extract and input data using any open API – skills that will come in handy when (for example) building reporting dashboards, or creating or updating client records.
The course is designed for anyone working in financial advice or investment management, regardless of role or seniority – and will be delivered digitally through a combination of webinars and virtual workshops.
While many of the advice professionals we speak to express a real desire to get to grips with the basics of coding, they all struggle to know where to start or who to ask.
Our API Academy aims to fill that gap – giving you the real-world skills to use and manipulate APIs day-to-day.
If, like me, you spend a lot of time trying to access and analyse data from different sources – often with different levels of success and in various non-user-friendly formats – then I would recommend that you sign up to the Seccl API Academy.
The programme includes two hours of on-demand webinars and four workshops. Unfortunately the workshops are now fully booked (they were in super high demand!), but you can still watch the webinars to clock up two hours of CPD.
