How does it work in practice?


The custom Financial Markets eLearning application

Where do I go to learn?

Certification modules are completed over the internet using the Front University Financial Markets eLearning application. The application is used both for self-study learning and for assessment tests at the end.

What is the eLearning application?

The Front University Financial Markets eLearning application has been created for Front University by Chisholm Roth based on the Magellan On-line Learning® training platform. The application is only available to participants in the Financial Markets Certification programs.

The eLearning application is designed as an interactive desktop reference tool, rather than as traditional computer-based training system. There are scores of embedded valuation models, plus sessions on Chisholm Roth's Risk Manager Trading Simulation™.

How much time is required for self study?

The approximate minimum time for self-study learning is as follows:

General Certificate (59 hours)
Foreign Exchange and Money Markets Certificate (44 hours)
Equities and Derivatives Certificate (52 hours)
Credit and Interest Rate Derivatives Certificate (107 hours) 


If you have any questions about the eLearning application please contact
