Basic share market classes for complete beginners
Most people come to their first share market class a little embarrassed. They've heard about Nifty and Sensex for years, maybe a colleague has made money, maybe a relative lost some, and they still don't really know how any of it works. That's completely normal, and it's exactly where this course begins.
We start with what a share actually is, who runs the exchanges, what SEBI does and how your money is held safely in a demat account. Then we place orders together, read a stock quote, and look at the difference between investing and trading. The last week covers costs, taxes and how to spot scams, so you can make every decision after this with your eyes open. It's the first stop on both our trading and investing paths.
This course is for you if
- You've never placed an order and want to start properly
- You want to understand your family's investments
- You've tried tips and want to learn the basics instead
- You'd like to learn in Marathi, at a calm pace
It's not for you if
- You already trade and read charts (try Technical Analysis)
- You want stock tips or quick money
- You want to skip the basics and jump into options
- You're not willing to ask questions
How our beginner stock market classes are run
Nothing assumed
The first class starts with what a share is. Terms are explained the first time they appear, and nothing is skipped because "everyone knows it".
Real screens, slowly
We look at real broker apps, quotes and statements together on the big screen, step by step, so nothing feels unfamiliar when you use them yourself.
Small tasks between classes
Each week has a short task, like reading a stock quote or comparing two funds, and the Thursday session is for any question at all.

Stock market basics: ten terms you'll understand
- Share
- A small piece of ownership in a company. Owning one share of a company makes you a part-owner.
- Demat account
- Where your shares are held electronically, like a bank account for shares.
- Nifty 50
- An index of 50 large companies on the NSE. It shows how the overall market is doing.
- Sensex
- An index of 30 large companies on the BSE. Older than Nifty and often quoted on the news.
- Market order
- Buy or sell right now at the best available price. Fast, but you don't control the price.
- Limit order
- Buy or sell only at your chosen price or better. You control the price, but it may not fill.
- Stop loss order
- An order that exits your trade if price falls to a set level. It limits how much you can lose.
- Dividend
- A share of company profit paid to shareholders. Not every company pays one.
- Brokerage and charges
- Fees paid on every trade, including brokerage, STT and exchange charges. They add up.
- Capital gains tax
- Tax on profit when you sell shares. The rate depends on how long you held them.
See what a real trade plan looks like
In the last class we walk through one complete trade plan on past data, so you see how the later courses work. This one lost money, and that's the point: a good plan keeps a loss small.
- Market data at least 30 days old, per SEBI's education rules
- Losing trades on the board, not just the winners
- Paper-traded first, so the habit forms before real money
Our example beginner picks a large company they understand. Its price has risen slowly and steadily for several months.
A market-wide dip brings the price down a little. The company itself hasn't changed. This is when beginners often feel tempted to buy.
Instead of buying at any price, the beginner places a limit order at the price they decided on in advance.
Only a small part of their savings goes into this one share, and they write down the price at which they will sell if wrong.
A few days later the company reports weaker results. The price falls through the chosen stop, and the shares are sold.
Because the amount was small and the stop was decided in advance, the loss is small and expected, not frightening.
The share wasn't a bad choice. The lesson is that beginners who size small and plan exits stay calm and keep learning.
Tools you'll learn to use as a beginner
You don't need special software to start. These are the everyday tools beginners use, and we walk through each one in class.
Everything included in the beginner course
Beginner course timings and details
Beginner batches fill with homemakers, retirees, students and professionals, so we run both weekend mornings and weekday evenings. Both cover the same four weeks.
New batches start every month. Ask on WhatsApp for the next one.
Sharad Gaikwad
Sharad teaches the beginner batch himself, because he believes first impressions of the market matter most. He goes slowly, explains things twice if needed, and switches to Marathi whenever it helps.
"There are no silly questions in a beginner class. The only mistake is putting money in before you understand where it goes."
How to choose a beginner stock market course in Pune
A good beginner course feels calm, not rushed. These six questions help you find one that builds understanding instead of selling excitement.
Read our full comparison of Pune institutes →- 01 Does it really start from zero? Ask if the first class explains what a share is. If it starts with charts, it's not for beginners.
- 02 Is it taught in your language? Learning basics in Marathi can make everything click faster.
- 03 Do they promise you'll trade profitably? A beginner course should teach understanding, not promise income.
- 04 Do they push you into options early? Beginners should learn basics first. Early F&O pushing is a red flag.
- 05 Do they cover costs and taxes? Most beginners ignore charges and tax until it's too late.
- 06 Do they teach how to spot scams? A good course protects you from tip groups and fake schemes.
Is this stock market course really for complete beginners?
Yes. You don't need any knowledge of the market, finance or maths. We start with what a share is and build up slowly. Most students in this batch have never placed an order.
Do I need a demat account before joining?
No. We explain how to choose a SEBI-registered broker and open a demat account in week 2. Many students open their account during the course with our help.
Will this course teach me trading or investing?
Both, at a basic level. You'll understand how each works and which suits you. After this, you can choose Technical Analysis for trading or Fundamental Analysis and Long-Term Investing for investing.
Is the course suitable for homemakers and retirees?
Yes. The pace is calm, questions are welcome, and classes are available in Marathi. Many students join to understand family savings, FDs and mutual funds better.
How long is the beginner course?
It runs for 4 weeks, one module a week. Weekend batches meet on Saturday and Sunday, and weekday batches meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30 pm. New batches start every month.
Is it taught in Marathi?
Yes. Every concept can be explained in Marathi, and you can ask questions in Marathi or English.
Can I join online?
Yes. Every batch runs live online alongside the Katraj classroom, with recordings shared the same day.
Do you tell us which shares to buy?
No. We are an education institute, not a SEBI-registered adviser. We teach you how the market works so you can make your own decisions.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. You get a Stock Classes Pune completion certificate when you finish the course.
How do I get fee details?
We share fee details at the free demo class or on WhatsApp, along with what the group and 1-to-1 plans include.
