What other quants say about the program
The Certified Financial Engineering program is one of the best learning experiences
I have ever had. It is a well-thought-out course with a practical
focus. I am very satisfied with the training offered by the European Institute of Quantitative Finance
. The training provided is based
entirely on industry projects and practical solutions to real-world problems. The
instructors are competent and have very good knowledge of the industry and
can identify the needs of the students. The guidance provided by the instructors
was excellent, and the overall experience is
very good. If you want to optimize your technical skills, I personally advise you
to participate in the EIQF.
The Certified Financial Engineer program offered by the European Institute of
Quantitative Finance (EIQF) was very useful in my case as it
is well-structured and takes into account the latest developments in the field.
It is largely among the best in the world and represents an
excellent opportunity for theoretical and practical improvement for all participants.
The Certified Financial Engineer emphasizes the importance of knowledge within the financial world. The worldwide regulatory body cannot replace continuous education. It is the depth of the Certified Financial Engineer program that portrays a new picture to participants and sets a whole new standard for the financial community.
The Certified Financial Engineer from the European Institute of Quantitative Finance is a practical training program in the field of derivatives.
In terms of content, it covers valuation methods for options and futures (Binomial, Black-Scholes-Merton model), as well as various strategies (bullish, bearish, and neutral strategies). Thanks to an extensive course book, the content is easy to understand even without prior knowledge.
If you ever get stuck, you will receive helpful support from the professors.
You are very flexible in terms of time, which is why the course can also be completed alongside work.
The course can be credited toward an MBA program.

I really enjoyed the Certified Financial Engineer program because of the practical application in Excel and the excellent knowledge transfer achieved as a result. I was finally able to learn how to work effectively with specialist knowledge about derivatives and create added value, whether for my clients or in my own trading on the markets. This was an excellent technical and practical supplement to the Certified Financial Modeler. The teaching materials were of outstanding quality and valuable content was offered for both fans of videos and the classic textbook. The implementation examples are also true treasures for one's personal repertoire, providing a reference work to fall back on in the future. I also thought the deep financial mathematical theory, which sharpens basic understanding, was great. The investment in this program will certainly achieve a high return!

The accompanying teaching material leads through the complex financial mathematical subject matter in an understandable and clear manner, so that problem-solving is approached with pleasure. The program is particularly recommended for young professionals, as it can be completed alongside work thanks to its flexible design. The knowledge gained can thus flow directly not only into everyday professional life but also into private wealth accumulation.
