Quantitative finance is moving into a new era. Traditional quant skills are no longer adequate to deal with the latest challenges. The Machine Learning Institute Certificate offers candidates the chance to upgrade their skill set by combining academic rigour with practical industry insight.

The Certificate of Bank Treasury Risk Management (BTRM) is a once a year, eight-month, part-time course designed to empower individuals working in, or intending to work in, every aspect of bank risk management and asset-liability management (ALM). The BTRM is unique in being the only professional qualification for bank Treasury, Finance and Risk professionals that covers bank ALM, liquidity risk management, hedge accounting and operational risk.
