I find this program great. Before taking this program, I had not any experience in Quant-trading. I studied mathematics at university and worked as a private banker in China. I am very interested in Quant-trading. So I took this program. And now, I can write a simple pair-trading strategy, use Monte Carlo simulation to predict, and gained the necessary AI knowledge for further self-learning. This program is very useful for me. And the learning assistant is great too. He communicated with me every two weeks and always answered my queries very soon.

I recently completed the EPAT program from QuantInsti, and it was a rich experience. I learned more here than I did in my university curriculum. This is mainly because the EPAT course is very practical, and I was able to learn a lot in such a short time. It provided me with a lot of theoretical and practical knowledge in the algorithmic trading domain. Besides their excellent curriculum, the support team is friendly, dedicated, and always there to support you during your EPAT journey. They also have a placement team that keeps you updated with career opportunities. However, keep in mind that your background will influence how well you fit into those career opportunities. They also have a self-paced learning portal named Quantra, which I really enjoy. Overall, they are excellent at what they do.

EPAT is a great course for anyone who likes to learn algo-trading. The course work is quite comprehensive. Though I have years of experience in discretionary trading, taking EPAT got me introduced to this phenomenal area. And I am happy I did it. Starting with Excel, which is used by almost all institutional traders and retail traders alike, the courses teach you the most relevant Python language constructs.For me, this was quite helpful because I am not a developer and didn't know where to start with programming languages for Trading. The course takes you through the most basic ideas using Excel and Python to complex trading arenas such as Options trading.ML courses were quite helpful as well since EPAT courses guide you through the usage of ML in Trading. One of the best features of EPAT course structure is that they bring industry experts to teach you real- world scenarios.Some of these traders are world - renowned, in fact(at least in the Trading arena).Overall, I do not hesitate to recommend EPAT to anyone who likes to learn algo - trading!

I would highly recommend taking the EPAT program to anyone interested in becoming a successful algorithmic trader. The course material is excellent; the teachers are experienced and expose the learnings in a clear and assimilable manner. You develop both a general understanding and dive deep into the specifics to develop all the skills required to succeed. They do their best to answer our questions, and the recordings allow us to learn at our own pace. All the staff members are very nice and supportive. They make sure we receive the best value from our investment in this high-quality education with them. The alumni network is very active and passionate about growing as a community.

I have recently become an EPATIAN and would love to share how delighted I am with the EPAT program. IT IS A COMPREHENSIVE, practical, hands-on, and at the same time, theoretical program. It gives you good knowledge of the financial markets and backtesting opportunities with several software packages. The program is taught by professionals, traders with PhDs, professors of renowned universities, and founders of hedge funds. The staff is helpful and very nice; they have supported me at high levels with every single request I have made! It’s a great program, and I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in entering financial markets!

Only great words to say about QuantInsti and my learning path during the EPAT program. Always curious, always listening, and always improving. All the staff, from the CEO down to the support personnel, were very nice 120% of the time (the 20% excess goes to all the help that they have given me after concluding the course, every time with a consistent will to help others). Regarding the EPAT program content, the key thing I would like to say is that it is a wide-covering approach. During six months, industry experts (i.e., real practitioners, not Gurus) dive into a variety of topics from scratch so that, after that, you can choose in which field you are going to focus on. My final thoughts for new EPATians are: it is a must-do course if you are beginning in the field of algorithmic trading and quantitative finance. Although the real value is in the people that drive the institution. Be sure that you will have to take more courses after EPAT to succeed in this field, but you won't find the lifelong learning support that they will give you anywhere else.

Very professional and knowledgeable team and learning platform. I was part of the EPAT program during 2022, and I can say that I only saw my understanding of algorithmic trading grow. The support team is also great. I will definitely do another course with QuantInsti soon.

These sessions do not necessarily decide the participants' eligibility but help counsellors assist them with informed guidance prior to enrollment.
