I find this program great. Before taking this program, I had not any experience in Quant-trading. I studied mathematics at university and worked as a private banker in China. I am very interested in Quant-trading. So I took this program. And now, I can write a simple pair-trading strategy, use Monte Carlo simulation to predict, and gained the necessary AI knowledge for further self-learning. This program is very useful for me. And the learning assistant is great too. He communicated with me every two weeks and always answered my queries very soon.

EPAT has been a great experience for me. It is definitely the best program out there to learn quantitative finance and algorithmic trading. The team was, and still is, very helpful and caring. The course itself is a combination of different disciplines, including programming, finance, and statistics, taught by a very knowledgeable and experienced faculty.

I recently completed the EPAT program from QuantInsti, and it was a rich experience. I learned more here than I did in my university curriculum. This is mainly because the EPAT course is very practical, and I was able to learn a lot in such a short time. It provided me with a lot of theoretical and practical knowledge in the algorithmic trading domain. Besides their excellent curriculum, the support team is friendly, dedicated, and always there to support you during your EPAT journey. They also have a placement team that keeps you updated with career opportunities. However, keep in mind that your background will influence how well you fit into those career opportunities. They also have a self-paced learning portal named Quantra, which I really enjoy. Overall, they are excellent at what they do.

EPAT is a great course for anyone who likes to learn algo-trading. The course work is quite comprehensive. Though I have years of experience in discretionary trading, taking EPAT got me introduced to this phenomenal area. And I am happy I did it. Starting with Excel, which is used by almost all institutional traders and retail traders alike, the courses teach you the most relevant Python language constructs.For me, this was quite helpful because I am not a developer and didn't know where to start with programming languages for Trading. The course takes you through the most basic ideas using Excel and Python to complex trading arenas such as Options trading.ML courses were quite helpful as well since EPAT courses guide you through the usage of ML in Trading. One of the best features of EPAT course structure is that they bring industry experts to teach you real- world scenarios.Some of these traders are world - renowned, in fact(at least in the Trading arena).Overall, I do not hesitate to recommend EPAT to anyone who likes to learn algo - trading!

I would highly recommend taking the EPAT program to anyone interested in becoming a successful algorithmic trader. The course material is excellent; the teachers are experienced and expose the learnings in a clear and assimilable manner. You develop both a general understanding and dive deep into the specifics to develop all the skills required to succeed. They do their best to answer our questions, and the recordings allow us to learn at our own pace. All the staff members are very nice and supportive. They make sure we receive the best value from our investment in this high-quality education with them. The alumni network is very active and passionate about growing as a community. This is rare in my experience with online learning. Thank you to everyone at Quantinsti for making our experience so positive!

I have recently become an EPATIAN and would love to share how delighted I am with the EPAT program. IT IS A COMPREHENSIVE, practical, hands-on, and at the same time, theoretical program. It gives you good knowledge of the financial markets and backtesting opportunities with several software packages. The program is taught by professionals, traders with PhDs, professors of renowned universities, and founders of hedge funds. The staff is helpful and very nice; they have supported me at high levels with every single request I have made! It’s a great program, and I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in entering financial markets!
