Each delegate who is accepted on the course has a high level of intellectual curiosity, a strong interest in finance, and strong analytical skills.

Although there is no specific degree requirement, most delegates will have backgrounds in quantitative disciplines such as mathematics, statistics, the physical sciences, engineering, operations research, computer science, finance, or economics.

Master of Business Administration Delegates should also have familiarity with calculus, spreadsheets and computational problem solving.

Math requirements

The CQF requires a certain minimum level of mathematics. This is the key criteria in determining whether delegates will successfully complete the course.

To ensure delegates have the necessary maths level to enrol onto the CQF we require the applicant to complete a pre-course math test. The test will highlight the level of math required at the start of the program.

Many delegates believe that their mathematics is rusty at the start of the CQF. We provide a Maths Primer course for delegates who want a structured approach to bringing their calculus up to speed. In addition we can recommend appropriate text books to refresh your math skills.

IT Requirements

The program is a very practical and some classes require delegates use Excel and VBA. Therefore all delegates should be familiar with Excel or a similar spreadsheet package before joining the program. Delegates attending the classroom program will require a lap-top computer.

Delegates will not require prior experience in VBA as this will be introduced at the start of the course and supporting workshops will be provided during the first half of the program.
