Certificate Program in Derivatives Valuation & Risk Analytics (CPDVRA)
Course Overview
A live-online, instructor-led weekend programme designed to deliver practical, industry-
oriented skills in derivatives valuation and risk analytics. Especially tailored for not just
finance professionals but also non-finance professionals (for example: software developers,
business analysts, credit analysts) seeking to transition into derivatives/risk modelling roles.
Why this course matters:
In today’s financial markets, derivatives instruments (options, futures, swaps) and the
associated risk analytics are central to trading desks, treasury functions, model validation and
risk management. Many professionals possess theoretical knowledge of derivatives or risk-
modelling, but lack hands-on ability to code and implement models for real-world use: this
course bridges that gap. Acquiring both valuation and risk-analytics skills opens up roles such
as derivatives trader, quant modeller, risk analyst, treasury analytics, model validation—thus
making the course career-relevant and competitive.
