"Review of CPFE by IIQF"

The Certification Program in Financial Engineering by IIQF is an excellent course for anyone looking to gain a deep, practical understanding of quantitative finance. The curriculum is well-structured, covering topics like stochastic calculus, derivatives pricing, risk management, and algorithmic trading with real-world applications.

The best part is the hands-on approach - assignments and projects require implementing financial models in Python, which enhances both theoretical and coding skills. The faculty consists of industry experts who provide valuable insights into practical aspects of financial engineering.

For professionals in quant finance or those looking to transition into risk management, or portfolio optimization, this course is highly recommended. It provides a solid foundation and real-world exposure.

"Garbage"

Garbage, dont waste your money please. Had they spent an iota of the money they spent on ads on their actual courses, it would have been at least ok.

"Good course on Financial Engineering"

I found the course well structured and placement assistance is on point.

"Great course CPQFRM"

I completed their CPQFRM course, and the best part was its industry-oriented approach, taught by experts working with top companies. This made the lessons highly practical rather than just theoretical. Overall, it was a fantastic learning experience. Thanks!

"Review of IIQF CPFE program"

I would like to thank IIQF. Without Nitish Sir’s guidance I couldn't have ventured to this space. I gained a lot from the CPFE program, helped me answer at quant interviews and I'm now in credit risk model development team at a Canadian bank. I will continue to learn from the videos for the next year.
The most important aspect of IIQF is that it is not a commercial program designed to just make a profit, but it is a program where the tutors are genuinely invested in the student’s success.

"IIQF a great Start"

IIQF was the institute where I gained the fundamental knowledge about Quantitative Finance and Risk Management. Quantitative finance being a relatively new field of study, there are very few institutes in India which provide courses on this and other related fields. Not only are the courses comparable to international standards but it is much more affordable and economic in comparison with similar courses across the Globe. If one wants to get into the field of Quantitative Finance or Financial engineering, it becomes necessary for them to get acquainted with the industry practices. This need is effectively fulfilled by the team of instructors at IIQF, since they work in and also have completed their education from institutions which are considered nothing less than the finest in the current market. Consequently, we can be sure about the facts, depth of knowledge and industry practices they share with us and train us in. There are supplementary materials for people who wish to take a fresh start in the field (like Python fundamentals).
Besides, I would also recommend to you the networking opportunity IIQF provides to its students and ex-students. Not only this becomes useful in career development, but also to connect across different frontiers of the industry. The staff and administration at IIQF has always been diligent in responding and following up on requests made to them.
I wish more people would take advantage of opportunities at IIQF not only due to its potential at employment but also entrepreneurship.

"What is IIQF to me?"

As far as financial engineering is concerned IIQF is debatably the only Institute in India capable of ably equipping learners the right skillsets to thrive and/or even break into Quant finance, mainly for three reasons, according to my humble observation:
(A) Sufficiently mathematically rigorous syllabus coupled with the most concrete and practical of course exercises using SOTA quant risk methods mainly in python programming language (with PoC excel models to always fall back on)
(B) Taught by a team of faculty members who not only are already at the pinnacle of academia but also well-seasoned industry practitioners themselves and very passionate about quant finance education in general.
(C) Last and most important concern for many i.e. job placements. Although this is the only part I cannot guarantee a 100℅ on, but if it makes you feel any better, I myself broke into the industry with a quant finance profile (Market risk model validation in Big 4), that too as a fresher, through IIQF job placement opportunities.

One can get (A) or (B) or (C) seperately and add them all up from anywhere else including the top elite tech/business schools (Yes! not even kidding!) but they wouldn't get ABC.
The whole (ABC) is better than the sum of the individual parts (A+B+C)

PS: I am forever indebted to this Institute, to the finest of teachers who are as approachable and yet amazing human beings, and last but not the least to Nitish, the person who deserves much more credit than this short review can possibly give. He is someone who actually, I mean actually gets and understands what concerns/requirements do quant finance aspirants have and would so much as go out of his way to address and fulfill each and every need.

Rest assured IIQF is not doing it for the money, that I'm 100% confident of saying. What sets apart IIQF perhaps from the rest is, they are driven by a strong passion (including passion of teaching) and zeal to bridge the quant finance education gap, not just in India but across the board.

Thank you once again IIQF!

Kindest regards,

"IIQF knows the real stuff, and are very practical."

I wanted to learn Algo-Trading, So I inquired and found IIQF's approach very satisfactory among others. They guided me after listening and understanding my needs, rather than just rushing to sell their course like others.

I have started learning Python with IIQF, as coding knowledge is must before diving into Algos. This people really know the stuff and are very practical.
