The Investor Training Program (ITP) is an introductory course to financial markets and valuation taught each semester by the clubโ€™s leadership team. ITP trains students in the fundamentals of accounting, business analysis, and valuation and prepares them for industry interviews. At the end of ITP, all students who wish to become certified take a final exam and present a stock pitch. Those who complete the course satisfactorily will become certified and have the opportunity to interview to become analysts at Duke Investment Club.
