My coding level has improved significantly.
I first became aware of this course because of Baruch's graduate program MFE. also I was well aware of the importance of C++ in the quantitative field. Looking at the results, I think my coding level has improved significantly.

Highly recommend for breaking into MFE programs
As someone trying break into MFE programs from investment banking, I had limited cs classes (1) in undergrad. I learned from various connections that this course is highly regarded in the world of quant finance, and after finishing I feel so much more confident about programming. This course is very dense in content (especially for people new to programming) and requires time to really do researches on your own (especially for Level 9) but the teaching is great. Also I received great instructions from TA and the forums. I would strongly recommend for anyone interested in quant finance, regardless of prior programming experience:)

QuantNet C++ course
The course provides a very comprehensive introduction to C++, from the basics to OOP and GP. The course has helped me establish a foundation in C++ for financial engineering, and I hope to see its real-life applications in the near future. I find my TA very responsible, and the supportive community has also been very helpful.

Great C++ course for MFE admission
I heard about the course from my classmates. I wanna take this course because I didn't take a C++ programming course at school, and this is necessary for a MFE program admission. The course is really well-arranged, especially for the homework part. It enables me to dive deeper in to every level step by step.

Wise choice to take this course
Excellent experience! The course is really systematic and has covered a lot of details as well as ideas for program design.
The course was recommended by a friend to me who is also learning financial engineering. He found the course useful and informative so I decided to take the course as well, which turned out to be a wise choice.

Fantastic course for Quant dev positions that need C++
Fantastic learning experience. The TA Avi and Paul were super helpful. The course is clearly outlined and well structured, and the videos are very clear in content. It is recommended to people who want to learn C++, not especially for finance people for most of the course content (but it might be a little difficult if they have no idea about those options).
The reason for taking the course is I would like to widen my options when applying for a job. With C++, I could apply for Quant developer or other modeling positions that require C++.

Learned a lot. Excellent experience.
My experience in the course has been good, I found the lecture notes, exercises and forums very helpful. My reason for taking the course was learning cpp but not just in the general sense. I think cpp is a lot more intimidating than python to learn and so I was looking at structured learning options when I found the course on QuantNet. I decided to take the course as the reviews seemed very positive and it seems like this certificate was more meaningful than other potential courses. I feel like I definitely learned a lot and have a good grasp of the fundamentals.

I am thrilled and honored
I took this course on the recommendation of a friend when I was looking for a comprehensive C++ tutorial to get started. I am thrilled and honored to be part of this learning journey. Transitioning from zero to mastering C++ coding has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The lectures are well-structured, and the homework assignments provide ample opportunities to delve into complex concepts. However, I believe the course could be further enhanced by updating the visualization tools. While traditional Excel is used for visualization, incorporating more advanced plotting tools available today would make the learning experience even more enriching.
