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.

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.
