My Journey to becoming a Quant
A Math graduate from the University, I spent a great deal of time looking for the CFA equivalent for algorithmic trading, and EPAT was the closest match. I had joined EPAT in 2014 and what started off as basics, practising and starting programming in Python, evolved into creating entire strategies in Excel, Machine Learning techniques, back-testing models in Python, and so much more. I loved how the course covered a wide range of topics. When I started the course I had plans to go back to university to study maths further but just before finishing the course I got hired by a coveted quantitative hedge fund as a quantitative analyst. A special thanks to the faculty and the support team that have been the force behind my success.

Success Stories
The faculty, content and the relationship management - all the three verticals at EPAT® are at par.

EPAT®, 2018
First and foremost I am very happy with the support provided by the administration team. Faculty is greatly committed at resolving queries. Due to the time difference of where I live, this course has an amazing facility of recording and viewing videos of the lecture, so I do not miss any lecture. Adding to this I can go back at any lecture any time and revisit its content. Having worked at one of the leading brokerage houses, I would certainly want to get into algorithmic trading and this is where QuantInsti's EPAT course will help me.

I've learnt a lot by making my own algorithms, programming my Trading Strategies and applying Statistical Arbitrage in my Project. I'm happy to achieve the EPAT certificate which empowers me to follow my passion for trading.

As an analyst at UBS Investment Bank, front-to-back understanding of trade flows, trading systems, position management software, trade bookings and static data management gave me a good foundation. This enabled me in doing EPAT, a comprehensive certification in algorithmic trading. It was a pleasure learning algorithmic trading from QuantInsti. The course covers different domains of trading and the technology behind trading platforms. Doing EPAT has also given me the necessary confidence in being a Senior Business Analyst in the capital markets domain.
