This two-day course will give participants a thorough background and understanding of the main derivative products, both exchange traded and over the counter (OTC). These are futures, options and swaps with a step-by-step guide to the products, applications, risks and documentation. We also introduce participants to credit derivatives and focus on how the market is structured and the various participants.

We review market developments such as EMIR and the importance of timely and efficient settlement of trades and management of collateral. No prior knowledge required.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
