Imarticus Learning has launched its online training
program ‘Certification in Capital Markets’ (CCM), aimed at providing an
overview of Capital Markets and bridging the divide between academia and the
needs of the Financial services industry.
Certification
in Capital Markets (CCM) is a
comprehensive, short-term program that provides aspirants with a thorough
understanding of financial instruments and capital market operations. This
two-month weekend program has been designed for working professionals and fresh
graduates who are keen to explore career options in the capital markets. The
program will be conducted virtually using a combination of 30 hours of interactive video and 20 hours of live
instructor-led virtual classes,
which will be managed by a fully integrated online learning portal.
The
CCM program thoroughly prepares aspirants for the ‘Introduction to Securities
and Investment’ Certificate from CISI. This is an internationally renowned
certification that offers students a comprehensive and valuable benchmark
qualification to prepare for entry into financial services.
The
focus remains on practical knowledge and applicability in the corporate world.
To that end, we work closely with our Advisory Council comprising noted
industry experts when we design the curriculum of the program. The council also
periodically guides and mentors our students. The CCM course ends with
aspirants presenting their projects in front of industry experts.
The
idea for launching our CCM program was a result of continues market demand from
aspirants who wanted to be part of Capital Markets. The Certification
in Investment Banking Operations (CIBOP) program, Imarticus’s flagship
program for the last 2 years, fills out fast and has batches starting every
month. But this is a classroom based program located at our Imarticus centres
in Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai, which can pose a constraint for aspirants in
other cities or for working professionals who still want to learn about Capital
Markets but are unable to attend classroom sessions. The CCM program is a more
focused and flexible learning option for candidates with both time or location
constraints and those who prefer self study to a classroom environment.
Commenting
on the launch of the CCM batch on 13th June, Mr Nikhil Barshikar,
Managing Director, Imarticus Learning, said, “With the reduction in
technological barriers and growing familiarity with sophisticated computer
interface, there has been a gradual shift from traditional classroom training.
Online education or eLearning has become an accepted training medium. We have
trained over 5000 students in Financial Services and Analytics, and it was only
a matter of time before we leveraged our domain expertise and networks within
the industry. We want to be the first firm to offer comprehensive online
education that completely mimics classroom teaching so much so it becomes the
preferred mode of learning. We believe we can provide our online CCM students
with the same stimulating learning experience that our classroom CIBOP course
provides. We hope to create many more such online courses, while creating
employment opportunities for our youth.”
The
first CCM batch begins on 13th June, 2015, and enrollments are now
open for Batch 2
