Hi,

I am thinking to take Paul Wilmott Certificate in Quantitative Finance course, see link below.

Anybody knows if this helps to find position in US?

Thanks!

In my opinion, CQF just made it round to the US recently so lot of people know/take that program but we don't see many job openings specifically required a CQF.
From their website, I have an impression that CQF is designed for people who work fulltime and want to move into quant finance space. If you want to study fulltime, MFE is an alternative you should consider.

Incidentally, Paul Wilmott's partner, Dominic is a member on this site. You can get his opinion directly.

As Andy says, I am in the unique position of being a headhunter who has done this work, enough that I do most of the C++ on the CQF.
It does have recognition in the US, and if you want to chat to a CQf alumnus, then drop me a line.

Hi,

This program is extremly important for those who want to further their knowledge in the areas of derivative pricing, trading, risk and portfolio management. I Just have to warn you that the program is tough but very rewarding. It's worth trying it.
