Advanced Quantitative Corporate Program

Delivery

First and foremost, each participant has access to the Lab, the go-to reference for their quantitative work, similar to a subscription to a state-of-the-art gym that is open at all times.

Furthermore, each participant can cover the contents of the Lab in a structured manner in self-paced mode. Our engine customizes and re-optimizes weekly each participant's plan to suit their individual interests, time availability and background: from Data Animations for Quant-curious to specialized theoretical contents/code for SuperQuants, to (portions of) courses Quant Marathon courses for Quants.

Finally, participants may also choose to join cohort training, learning in sync with colleagues and other participants

• (portions of) the Live Streaming/Onsite* Quant Bootcamp, for a quick, intense overview (suitable for all backgrounds)
• (portions of) the Endurance Cohorts of any course of the Quant Marathon, for in-depth learning (suitable for Quants and SuperQuants)

Because all cohorts are accessible at all times, typically each individual participant alternates between longer periods in self-paced mode and short periods of cohort training, independently of other participants.

Benefits

• Knowledge/skills: participants reach beyond master-level knowledge and skills across all parts of Data Science and Quantitative Finance, and stay up to date on how the latest techniques connect to best practices

Even the few participants that complete both the Quant Bootcamp and all the courses of the Quant Marathon will be pointed to all the new material, as it is added to the Lab.

What happens if I miss a live class in cohort training?

If you miss a live class, all the study/practice materials, including recorded video lectures, are available in the Lab. Furthermore, you can make up for any lost points by adding more Lab activity, completing quizzes and homework.

How are the Course Completion Statements and the ARPM Certification related?
