Do I get a certification?
Yes. A Statement of Completion is issued for each course completed.
Completion of a course is measured through activity across channels: classroom participation, homework, time spent on theory, case studies, code, slides.
You can choose your preferred channel(s), as all activity counts towards completion.

What's the difference with a Master’s in Financial Engineering/Data Science?
The Quant Marathon starts from and brings you to a higher level of mathematical proficiency than a master in those disciplines
Lab: unlike in master programs, all the study/practice materials are synced and constantly updated in the ARPM Lab: theory, case studies, code, slides, and more. All this will remain available for self up-skilling for life.

ARPM Certification vs. Master’s in Financial Engineering/Data Science?
The ARPM Certification demonstrates a deeper understanding of the mathematical complexities of advanced statistics and quantitative finance than a master. Therefore, graduates become able to create new models and processes, rather than only modify pre-existing ones.
