Trading Academy Closes Transformative Year, Prepares for Bold Next Chapter

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Trading Academy, a leading financial education company with a 28-year legacy, is celebrating its first full year under new ownership with a track record of growth, innovation, and student-focused initiatives. Since Kevin Young acquired the company through TradingEDU LLC, Trading Academy has embraced a bold new chapter full of energy, vision, and opportunities for traders everywhere.

A Year of Impact 
Over the past twelve months, Trading Academy has turned ambition into action, making financial education more accessible, practical, and exciting than ever before.

• Expanded the Curriculum: Recognizing the diverse goals of its students, Trading Academy launched a redesigned Options Trading Course now alongside its renowned Stock Trading, Futures Trading, Forex Trading, and Cryptocurrency (crypto) programs. From how to invest in stocks to options trading for beginners, students learn through hands-on exercises that teach not only how to trade stocks but also how to think like a trader. Whether you're searching for "day trading classes near me" or "trading courses" online, Trading Academy provides flexible options: live, in-center, or OnDemand.
• National and Global Expansion: This past year marked new Trading Academy centers in Kansas City, Boston, Fort Lauderdale, and New Jersey, along with a 10-year renewal agreement for Trading Academy – Dubai, reinforcing the brand's global reach. The next major milestone: a brand-new campus opening in Dallas, Texas, perfect for those seeking an in-person financial education community.
• Building Trust and Credibility: All corporate-owned centers earned Better Business Bureau (BBB) accreditation, underscoring Trading Academy's unwavering commitment to integrity and transparency. The company also more than doubled its team, expanding its network of instructors and support staff.
• Strengthening a Trusted Brand for Traders and Investors: Underpinning this next phase of growth, Trading Academy continued to focus on consistent, accountable learning with lifetime access for students, teaching not just strategies, but how to invest in stocks, trade options, and build long-term trading skills to help protect and grow retirement accounts in both bullish and volatile markets.

A Vision for Year Two and Beyond
Kevin Young's leadership continues to fuel momentum into a new phase of growth that is anchored in community, innovation, and lifelong learning.

• Expanding Student Support: At the heart of the company's next chapter will be the Student Success Initiative, a forward-looking program built on the pillars of Consistency, Accountability, and Support. This initiative will guide learners step-by-step through structured pathways, personalized mentorship, and an engaged community experience. Students will have the tools and support they need to master the essentials of trading and build lasting confidence in their trading journey.
• New Advanced Hedge Fund Strategies and Tactics Program: Designed for experienced learners ready to move from simulation to real-world application, this program blends institutional-level training with hands-on portfolio management. Under professional supervision, students will operate a live fund, applying advanced trading and risk-management strategies across multiple asset classes. The experience builds precision, discipline, and decision-making skills, preparing graduates to bridge theory and practice at the highest levels of modern finance.
• Crypto & Currency Innovation: A brand-new, two-day experience in cryptocurrency and Digital Assets built for both beginners and experienced traders eager to navigate today's rapidly evolving financial landscape. This immersive course combines the flexibility of in-center instruction, live virtual classes, and self-paced OnDemand learning. Students go beyond theory to build real-world confidence in how to trade crypto, understand currency markets, and recognize opportunities in digital assets. Designed with the same structure and accountability that define every Trading Academy program, this course helps learners step into the future of finance with clarity, discipline, and skill.
• Beginner-Friendly Pathways: Recognizing that every expert once started as a beginner, Trading Academy is lowering the barrier to entry with a dedicated track for beginners. By transforming complex topics into clear, engaging lessons, Trading Academy is helping everyday learners take their first confident step into the markets.
• Irvine Headquarters Expansion: Trading Academy is growing its California footprint with an expanded headquarters in Irvine. The new space will accommodate additional classrooms, media studios, and collaborative work areas, reflecting its commitment to innovation, community, and hands-on learning for both students and staff.

With its Irvine headquarters expansion underway, Trading Academy is doubling down on what matters most: its people and its purpose. The new space will bring teams together under one roof to collaborate, create, and inspire, fueling the next generation of financial education and student experience. At the heart of this next chapter are new initiatives shaping the future of learning: the Student Success Initiative, built on Consistency, Accountability, and Support; the Advanced Hedge Fund Strategies & Tactics Program, bridging academic theory and real-world fund management; Crypto & Currency Innovation, helping students navigate the fast-changing digital asset space; and Beginner-Friendly Pathways, opening the doors for newcomers to confidently take their first step into the markets. Together, these programs reinforce Trading Academy's mission to transform lives through practical, lifelong market education.

"Ownership isn't about management—it's about movement," said Kevin Young, owner of TradingEDU LLC. "We've proven that financial education can be both empowering and attainable. And we're just getting started."
