The word "bourse" traces back to a Bruges hotel owned by a Belgian merchant named Van der Beurze, whose establishment became the city's trading hub back in the 16th century. Centuries later, that same idea — a regulated place where securities change hands under public oversight — still defines every modern stock exchange.

What has changed is the data behind it. This course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy goes beyond that history to build advanced skills in designing statistical and technical reports for stock exchanges, for anyone working in financial markets, bank and exchange management, or capital markets using modern electronic tools.
