Training Courses >ISDA® Credit Support Annexes under English and New York Law
Derivatives Documentation Limited (“DDL”) is pleased to announce the launch of its web-based online distance learning course on the ISDA® Credit Support Annexes under English and New York Law.
Features of the ISDA® Credit Support Annexes (CSAs) under English and New York Law online training
This course provides a full commentary in clear English on the ISDA® Credit Support Annexes under English and New York Law.
Our online training provides a clause by clause review of the English and New York versions of the ISDA® Credit Support Annex. There are also commentaries on common provisions added to Paragraph 11 of the English Law CSA and Paragraph 13 of the New York Law CSA. Risk matters, collateral management and legal issues are also covered.
This course is in modular form with multiple choice questions throughout. If you get the answers right you can proceed with the training. If you get an answer wrong, you are directed back to the text to refresh your knowledge and attempt the question again. Provided you give a correct answer, you can proceed to the next stage.
At the end of the course is an ISDA® Credit Support Annex negotiation exercise which represents a practical opportunity to apply what you have learned. There are instructions with the exercise and you will be invited to email your completed answer to Paul Harding, Course Director detailing, in bullet point form, the matters you would like to raise with your counterparty.
Your email will be appraised by Paul Harding who will advise you of the mark obtained. He will then email you a model answer and a certificate stating you have completed the course.

Naturally this list is not exhaustive.
DDL’s existing in-house training services are not affected by this launch and continue to be available.
Access to course and costs
Courses are licensed to each user through a licence key, username and password. The standard licence will have a four month duration and the course and negotiation exercise will need to be completed in that time. If not, the licence will terminate and the user will not be able to re-access the course.
Periodically, the user will be reminded by email how long is left before the licence expires.
The fee for the course is GBP 425 (plus Value Added Tax in the United Kingdom) per user. With a large number of users in a single organisation, a block discount may be negotiable. This fee is payable by electronic transfer to DDL’s bank account (details will be provided) whereupon a licence will be issued to the user. Sterling cheques in favour of Derivatives Documentation Limited are also acceptable but a user licence will only be issued once the cheque has cleared.
If a user does not complete the course in the 4 months, it is possible to have a one month extension for GBP 50 (plus Value Added Tax in the United Kingdom).
In order to be able to offer these courses at this competitive price we regret that currently we cannot accept credit or debit cards in payment.
Unfortunately we need to charge an additional GBP 7 for non UK users in the European Union and GBP 10 for other users outside the European Union (except for Asia where the charge is GBP 15) for transferring funds electronically. This is because our bank charges these amounts for non UK electronic transfers and there is nothing we can do about it.
