The promise
By week four, you'll speak fixed income.
The vocabulary, the products and the risk — enough fluency to hold a conversation in a fixed income interview, and a clear map of the roles that follow.
Your instructor
Learn from someone who has traded the market for two decades.
TSIX Academy is taught by Toyin Irojah, CFA, MSc, Eng, a fixed income professional with over 20 years of experience across bonds, rates, swaps and credit markets, gained on desks in New York, Hong Kong, the GCC and London. You won't learn from a textbook summary — you'll learn from the pricing, the risk and the daily rhythm of the desk itself.
The teaching is deliberately conversational: every concept is introduced the way a senior colleague would explain it to a career-changer on day one, not the way a lecture hall would.

Questions
Frequently asked.
+Do I need a finance background?
No. The course is built for people arriving from other fields and for graduates taking their first step into finance — we start from first principles and build up to the products desks actually trade.
+How does one hour a day for a month work?
Four weeks of one-hour live sessions, one per day, five days a week — twenty sessions in total. Each hour ends with a short Q&A, and every session is recorded in case work runs late.
+What does the course cover?
The full fixed income toolkit: bonds, government and corporate debt, the yield curve, interest rate swaps, futures, FRAs, options on rates, credit products and derivatives.
+What is the one-week CFA course?
A five-day sprint for CFA candidates: one hour a day on exam strategy, the high-weight topics and the question technique that turns study hours into a pass — taught by a CFA charterholder.
+Is this a sales pitch for investing?
No. This is education about how fixed income products and markets work — it is not investment advice and no products are recommended.
+Can I keep up with a full-time job?
Yes — the course is designed around it. One focused hour a day, recordings if you miss a session, and no homework beyond a short recap exercise.
