See title.

Companies like Optiver, Sig, etc have 2-4 month long training courses where they take someone with 0 knowledge of finance and trading and make them a successful assistant trader that after a bit of experience can manage on his own.

I’m very interested in learning more about these topics and would love to be in one of those trainings, but the boat has sailed for me and there’s no chance that I would be hired in any of these companies as a jr trader. In four months it’s impossible to learn everything that a degree in finance/economics/etc would teach you so I assume it’s very concentrated, just-the-important stuff which is exactly what I’m looking for at the moment since my job is already pretty demanding.

Can anyone list more or less what topics are covered so that I can find materials to learn on my own? Much appreciated!
