Certificate in Equity Trading and Sales

Hey all, I see the CSI has a new certificate program for trading.

https://www.csi.ca/student/en_ca/designations/ceq… Certificate in Equity Trading and Sales

I was wondering if anyone has started working towards this, or general opinions. Will this be a nice touch on a resume or more of a waste of time? I am wanting to get into trading and this course looks appealing (already have completed the CSC) but I am wanting to know what you think the benefits of this course may be. Is my time better spent going another route?

Thanks!

Is there a module on blood spatter analysis?

I think as has been said on CAIA and other tests - go with what's established. The bosses won't know what to make of a new and unproven course. So you do the CFA instead.

if you like it then you shoulda put a banana on it
