Derivatives, Risk and Clearing

The course was good, and the delivery of the sessions very clear. The instructor is excellent, very clear. This is a relatively tough course for someone of a non-mathematical background (for reference, having sat UK derivatives qualifying papers, the concepts here were far more in depth). This was however appropriate and not overwhelming.
