The Quantitative Developer Certificate (QDC)

The QDC delivers:

✅ All modules available in-house
✅ Practical, job-focused training in quant development
✅ Hands-on coding projects in Python and C++
✅ Live instruction from seasoned quant and risk professionals
✅ Access to recordings, materials, and a vibrant learning community

All in six months—with the flexibility of online learning, designed for full-time professionals. Unlike expensive master’s programs or bootcamps that offer generic tech skills, the QDC targets the high-value niche of financial engineering and quant dev roles that are in demand across investment banks, hedge funds, fintechs, and asset managers.

About the programme

This is the first of a kind course that teaches what the job of a quantitative analyst, developer or strat really is. There will be nearly no math in the course, but you will learn about the exact types of the quant jobs on the sell and buy-side, in consulting and in fintech, daily routines of different types of quants and their interaction among themselves and with other stakeholders, quant reports and other deliverables, quant library organization, the quant R&D process on the sell and buy-side and, finally, the skills that are really necessary beyond the technical ones and the career prospects. There is also a special section providing a very high-level view on the quant modelling for pricing, risk and trading strategy design. Sections on the organizational structure, quant job types and quant deliverables will be also useful for non-quants, including MBAs and CFA candidates.

Unlock the World of Systematic Trading: The Algorithmic Trading Certificate (ATC)

✅ All modules available in-house

In a financial landscape increasingly dominated by automation, data, and code, algorithmic trading has moved from the edges of finance to its very center. From hedge funds and prop shops to investment banks and even retail platforms, the demand for professionals who understand systematic trading strategies, market microstructure, and trading infrastructure has never been greater.

Enter the Algorithmic Trading Certificate (ATC)—a 16 module, intensive online programme designed to equip you with the skills and insight needed to build, test, and deploy algorithmic trading strategies. But beyond the cutting-edge content and expert instruction, what truly sets the ATC apart is its outstanding value for money.

“For anyone looking to translate rigorous quantitative ideas into deployable trading frameworks without needing a full-time coding boot camp, this certificate delivers an exceptionally well-structured, academically grounded path to practical alpha.”

About the programme

Throughout our unique programme, we provide a strong foundation in the tools and techniques used in algorithmic trading. Studying you’ll learn the basic programming concepts, moving through advanced trading strategies and discovering methods for research into new alpha sources. Applying everything in hands-on projects throughout the course. Unlike the other courses, the Algorithmic Trading: Practitioners Guide course takes a hands-on approach to building trading pipelines, from data to features to modelling to allocation to execution to performance measurement, guiding the student through common practice as well as areas of innovation.

Level up your career: Understanding advanced trading strategies, Impact of Machine Learning and methods for research into new alpha sources. The ATC is a career-enhancing professional certificate, that can be taken worldwide.

💎 World-Class Education

The ATC isn’t a generic finance or coding course—it’s a specialised programme tailored specifically to algorithmic trading, covering topics like:

  • Strategy design and backtesting
  • Execution algorithms and market microstructure
  • High-frequency trading considerations
  • Risk management in systematic trading
  • Python and relevant libraries used in live trading environments

Delivered over 16 modules, the programme offers deep, practical learning with a focus on real-world applications—without the high cost of a traditional degree or full-time bootcamp / certificate.

Here’s why you won’t want to miss it:

🔍 What You’ll Learn

  • Design, orchestrate and govern autonomous LLM agents for trading, risk management, fraud detection and personalized advisory.
  • Integrate orchestration frameworks (OpenAI Responses SDK, AutoGen, CrewAI, LangChain) with RL-tool libraries (ARTIST, ReCall, verl).
  • Build multi-agent “crews” that plan, code, self-correct and evaluate performance using AgentBench benchmarks and tail-risk metrics.
  • Labs include: SEC-filing analysis committees, VaR repair-bots, streaming RAG pipelines, four-agent prop-desk crews and more!

This intensive, hands-on course explores cutting-edge Large-Language-Model (LLM) Agents-and their hybridisation with reinforcement learning-in the financial domain. Students design, orchestrate, interpret and govern agentic systems for algorithmic trading, fraud detection, risk management and personalised advisory.
