Who AIAT is for
AIAT is built for quantitative analysts, quant researchers and algorithmic traders. It also suits finance professionals who want to understand how AI and automation are changing trading.
What you will learn
AIAT takes learners through the full life of an algorithmic strategy:
- Market data and the data pipelines that feed trading models
- Quantitative methods and AI techniques used in trading
- Designing and coding systematic strategies
- Backtesting and validating strategies properly
- Setting risk limits and managing live strategy risk
- Arbitrage, event-driven and other strategy types
The goal is not only to build strategies, but to evaluate them critically: knowing when a backtest is misleading and when a model should not be trusted.
How the pathway works
AIAT includes 47 classes and follows the same structure as Capital Academy's other certifications. Learners move through preparation, core, specialization and elective classes, then pass a final exam. Interactive exercises are unlimited, and AI tools help validate skills along the way.
Learners on the Certified plan receive a professional certificate co-issued with AUD.
Study at your own pace
AIAT is fully self-paced. Most learners complete it over several months, depending on their schedule and experience.
