Agenda:
- Audience: Who is it for?
- Topics: Advanced Data Science and Real-Probability Quantitative Finance
- Delivery: Live classes versus Self-Paced
- Benefits:
- Unified understanding of statistics/AI and its applications across quantitative finance
- Deep understanding via terse, mathematical formalism matched by code
- Lifelong access to constantly updated reference materials
- Certification with global professional recognition
- Q&A
- What is the difference with the Quant Bootcamp?
-
The Quant Bootcamp provides a quick, intense tour of the topics covered in greater depth in the Quant Marathon, covering the same topics as the Quant Marathon in only six days, rather than in seven courses.

- How long does it take to finish the whole Quant Marathon?
- 1 year
- What is the time commitment per course?
- ~10hrs/week
- How long does each course last?
- ~8 weeks
- What are the prerequisites?
- Please see here.
- How can I prepare?
- You can complete the Mathematics preparation course and the self-paced Python and Finance primers.
- 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 is 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.
