Derivatives exchange Eurex has launched a mobile training application called M-Learning to help users prepare for the Eurex Trading Examination.

M-Learning enables flexible and customised preparation for the exam directly from any web-enabled feature phone or smart phone.

Users can view the entire list of questions and test their knowledge by visiting the web portal at.mobileacademy.deutsche-boerse.com or m.eurexchange.com.

In developing and launching the application, Deutsche Börse Capital Markets Academy worked with Netbiscuits, a provider of web-based platforms for the development and operation of mobile websites and applications.

The material for the Eurex trading exam consists of 102 multiple choice questions. These are divided into different topic areas and can be downloaded with any mobile device. The mobile portal also allows users to take practice exams. The idea behind the application is to divide each section of the exam into short learning units that can be taken, during work commutes or lunch breaks.

The M-Learning portal for the Eurex trading exam is available in German and English versions. Further web applications for Deutsche Börse's training programme are in development.
