If the idea of investing makes your brain hurt- all the jargon, the endless “best platform” articles, the fear of getting it wrong- you’re exactly who we built the MoneyMagpie Invest Course for. It’s a straightforward, step-by-step system that takes you from “where do I even start?” to investing with genuine confidence, without needing years of financial experience or a finance degree.
Here’s everything you need to know about what’s inside, how it works, and how to get started.
What Is The MoneyMagpie Invest Course?
The MoneyMagpie Invest Course is our own 6-part course designed specifically for beginners who want a simple, no-nonsense way to learn how to invest.
Instead of one overwhelming, everything-at-once guide, we’ve broken the whole process down into clear, bite-sized steps, so you can build your knowledge one stage at a time, in the order that actually makes sense.
Every part is written in the same beginner-friendly style you’ll know from the rest of MoneyMagpie: practical, encouraging, and allergic to unnecessary complexity. We explain every technical term the first time it comes up, so you’re never left feeling like everyone else is in on a secret you’re not.
Who It’s For
This course is built for complete beginners. If you’ve never bought a share or a fund in your life, if you’ve got some savings sitting in a low-interest account wondering what to do with them, or if you’ve started investing but still feel a bit shaky on the basics, this is for you.
You don’t need any prior financial knowledge, a big pot of money, or a background in finance. You just need to be willing to start small, be patient, and take it one step at a time.
What’s Inside: The 6 Parts of the Course
You can think of the course as six building blocks. Each one stands alone, but together they take you from complete beginner to confident, informed investor.
1. How to Start Investing
The foundation course. This part walks you through the absolute basics, what investing actually means, how it differs from saving, the risks involved, and the practical first steps to opening an account and making your first investment with confidence.
2. Everything You Need to Know About Funds
Funds are one of the easiest, most beginner-friendly ways to invest, but only once you understand how they work. This part demystifies funds and index funds, explains how they spread your risk across lots of companies at once, and helps you understand what you’re actually buying.
3. ESG Investing Explained
Want your money to reflect your values as well as grow?
This part breaks down ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investing in sinple terms, what it means, how to spot genuinely ESG-focused funds, and what to watch out for.
4. How to Buy Stocks and Shares
Ready to invest in individual companies? This part takes you through exactly how buying and selling shares works, from choosing a platform to placing your first trade, plus how to think about picking companies as a beginner.
5. Dividends for Building Passive Income
Some shares and funds pay you an income just for holding them. This part explains what dividends are, how dividend investing works, and how to start building a source of passive income alongside any growth in your investments.
6. How to Build Wealth Through Your Pension
Your pension is one of the most powerful- and most overlooked- investing tools you have. This final part explains how pensions actually work, why starting early (or catching up now) matters so much, and practical steps to make sure your pension is working as hard as it can for your future.
Buy the Complete Collection, or Just What You Need
We know not everyone wants, or needs, the full six-part journey right away. That’s why the MoneyMagpie Invest Course is available two ways:
- The Complete Collection: all 6 parts, so you can work through the full journey from your very first investment to building long-term wealth through funds, shares, dividends and your pension.
- Individual Courses: if you’ve already got the basics down and just want to go deeper on one topic – say, dividends, or your pension – you can buy that single part on its own.
Whichever way you go, you’ll get the same clear, step-by-step teaching style, so you’re never left guessing what to do next.
Why Learn With MoneyMagpie
We’ve spent years helping people in the UK get better with their money: saving it, growing it, and making it work harder.
The Invest Course brings that same practical, encouraging, no-nonsense approach to investing specifically. No hype, no jargon for jargon’s sake, and no assumption that you already know what a “ticker” or a “yield” is. Just clear steps you can actually follow, at your own pace.
How to Get Started
