FDP Exam - Financial Data Professional by the CAIA

Hi All,

what are your thoughts about this new credential by the CAIA?

Looks interesting.

I like how there’s a practical component to it, where you have to learn Python through a provider as part of the prerequisite. It’s been something I’ve been wanting to do anyway, so I might just get started on the free stuff. Question is datacamp or dataquest?

Hi Rex, so since Jun19, what would you suggest re camp/quest/metis? Also, are there free fdp exam prep materials? Thanks in adavnce!

Looks like the first charters were awarded in December according to CAIA.

It would be nice to hear from people who’ve now completed the certification.
How useful was the curriculum in your opinion?
Were you already working in that space or looking to move into it?

Given all the fun and games in the world at the moment it seemed like a good use of time. Definitely an interesting syllabus but I’d want to see practical application of the concepts by anyone who has it I was hiring.
