This course is very good only for those people who wants to have a career in the Stock Market (either working for a company or in individual capacity). This is a very good course for someone who knows nothing about stock market (like me before beginning of the course) or someone who does elementary trading. The course has 4 modules: 1) Introduction to Stock Market 2) Fundamental Analysis 3) Derivatives and Options 4) Technical Analysis. It gives basic to in depth knowledge about all the 4 modules. However the extent of knowledge gained will depend on the teachers. In my batch the teachers were excellent but in another parallel batch, the quality of the teachers were not that good and consequently they suffered. The course fee is around 20K. Now coming to job opportunities. There is no direct placement after this course and neither any placement assistance is provided. Moreover brokerage firms are not going to hire you based on this certificate alone. This is only a knowledge supplement and resume builder. This is beneficial to those who wants to pursue MBA in Finance or other Finance related fields. Then in that case, this certificate might help those getting good future placements. However this course is very good for someone to get good insights about the stock market and then one can start trading or investing money on his own without having to work anywhere. So overall for anyone with an interest in stock market he/she can enroll and come out as a better trader in the stock market.
