ALUMNI SPEAK
I loved how EPAT covers a wide range of topics. When I started the course
I had plans to go back to university to pursue math further, but just before
finishing the course I got hired by a coveted quantitative hedge fund as a
quantitative analyst. A special thanks to the faculty!

The QI team too, always keeps in touch to update your knowledge with new
learning sessions and additions to the program, which is a great thing.
Aris Skilros | Quant Researcher at World Quant LLC | Hungary
The insights that the faculty bring in, to the classroom from their own experi-
ences as consultants, are very valuable and make each lesson very effective.
EPAT has given me confidence to trade and a feeling that, algo trading is do-
able. As I was new to trading, every lecture told me what to study. Moreover,
the placement assistance is greatly helpful as it provides the right information
as per the market demands. I wish all the success to team Quantinsti!
