I think those ppl who are too lazy to read a book are not serious enough to commit their free time and effort to learning about investing. if they have money to invest, they should look to investing in unit trusts or managed funds by attending investment exhibitions.
Its usually those who have some basic experience in buying and selling buying shares and want to improve their results , will seriously look for seminars on what markets to buy and about timing their entry and exits. So the seminars will probably be focused on (1) fundamental analysis and interpretation of company accounts or (2) technical analysis based on charting or (3) day trading.
Its no use recommending beginners to spend $5K on a one week seminar course on technical analysis. Its better to pay small tuition fees for attending half day seminars and learn slowly.

Honestly, I doubt anyone can give you an answer. I dont think anyone has attended enough courses/seminars to make a comparison. I must say, there are people whom are not so "intelligent" to just read a book and understand what investing is all about. They need to be taught. There are also others whom are lucky to have a mentor/ father/ friend to point them in the right direction on investing.
So, TS, if you really must recommend to your friend, then i think those courses/seminars at SGX is a good start. They have FA, TA & Day Trading too, i think. It may not be the best, but its cheap enough for your friends to get a start. And if after attending these and they are still interested, they should be able to find out other courses themselves.
