QuantInsti selects prometric as its Global Test Centre provider for EPAT programme

QuantInsti, the leader in algorithmic and quantitative trading education, has selected Prometric, a market leader in the test development and execution solutions as its Global Test Centre Provider for the Executive Programme in Algorithmic Trading (EPAT™) as it announced launching of the world's first verified algorithmic and quantitative trading certificate with proctored exams in more than 100 countries. This will give a boost to the people who are looking to move to this fast expanding domain.

For an organization that believes in the right benchmarks for imparting professional education in this domain, with this association starting October 2018, QuantInsti would introduce the world’s first verified and proctored algorithmic trading certification through Prometric’s network of 8,000 test centres in more than 160 countries across major cities globally. The global algorithmic trading market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.7% between 2017 and 2025. More than 90% of the domestic orders and close to 50% of the turnover on leading Indian exchanges come from Algorithmic Trading.

A pioneer in this rapidly growing domain, QuantInsti has been training Quantitative and Algorithmic Trading aspirants since its inception in 2010 through its flagship programme ‘Executive Programme in Algorithmic Trading’ (EPAT™). 8 years, 90+ placement tie-ups and users across 150+ countries later, EPAT has grown stronger over the years. It has also designed education modules and conducted knowledge sessions for/with various exchanges in South and South-East Asia and leading educational and financial institutions.
