About usTraining Courses > Credit Derivative Indices, Structured Products and their Documentation
Derivatives Documentation Limited (“DDL”) is pleased to announce the launch of its web-based online distance learning course on Credit Derivative Indices, Structured Products and their documentation.
Features of the CDS indices and structured credit derivatives products online training course
This online training course provides a commentary in clear English on credit derivative indices, tranched indices, basket default swaps, first to default swaps and CDS swaptions and their standard documentation which is kept continuously updated.
This training is in modular form and your progress is tested by a series of multiple choice questions at regular intervals. If you get the answers right you can proceed with the course. 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 a Confirmation 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 Abigail Harding, Course Director who will appraise it and advise you of the mark obtained. She will then email you a model answer and a certificate stating you have completed the course.
The course should take 30-40 hours to complete.

Access to course and costs
The course will be licensed to each user through a licence key, username and password. The standard licence will have a four month duration and the course and Confirmation 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 this course 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.
