Becoming a certified derivatives trader via e-learning

The Capital Markets Academy of Deutsche Börse now is also offering preparation for the examination to become a certified derivatives trader in German and English via an e-learning course. This has been made possible by a new cooperation with the Danish company Tradimo, which operates one of the world's leading learning platforms on the subject of stock markets. The participants can therfore much more flexibly access the teaching content, and the final examination can then be taken at various international Deutsche Börse locations.

The e-learning program contains interactive videos, current case studies and support from lecturers. Deutsche Börse's examination is recognised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and is a building block for qualification as a Retail Investment Advisor in the UK. The European Institute for Financial Engineering and Derivatives Research (EIFD) also credits the final examination as a module in its "Certified Financial Engineer" qualification programme.
