Wilmott certificate in quantitative finance

Curious to know if anyone has done this. Is it worth it? Pretty pricy, but you learn a shit ton of stuff. Obviously not as valuable as a MSF or an MBA from a top program but wondering if it will give any sort of edge in terms of jobs in trading/research.

Considered it. Very good content. Hella hard (exclusivity alsways good). But overpriced beyond belief. I can add many more worthwhile things on my CV with +$20k. It's also not as well-regarded. CQF is something to invest in if you're already down a quant-career track and looking to update/refresh your skillset.
