My own investment appraisal of why I thought it was worth paying for this and not other programmes was the Lifelong Learning. I like the idea of being able to continue studies beyond the six months. The main reason for me doing the CQF was the personal development projects at the moment in risk management for automated trading and news analytics.

I have leant very heavily on the recorded materials that have been available on the CQF Alumni website. I have used the online content quite extensively, some of the time I would watch a webcast because it was easier to watch from the office than to go to the classroom.

There is also an entire maths certification course online. I was surprised about that content in addition to the lectures and the teaching which forms part of the CQF. 

There are no other programs that give you the flexibility that the CQF does.
