When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

By completing this course, learners will be able to explain the fundamentals of structured finance, evaluate credit risk, analyze the mechanics of credit default swaps (CDS), and apply pricing and probability models to assess default exposures. They will also differentiate among advanced instruments such as credit-linked notes, asset swaps, and total return swaps, while interpreting joint default probabilities to understand systemic risk. Finally, learners will apply computational models, recovery rates, and pricing methods to credit derivatives in practice.

This course provides a unique blend of theory and application, guiding learners from the foundations of structured finance to advanced credit derivative instruments. Unlike traditional finance courses, it integrates practical computation with real-world case applications, offering insights into both risk transfer and portfolio management. Learners will benefit from structured progression—starting with fundamentals, moving through advanced applications, and concluding with computational practice—ensuring a comprehensive mastery of credit derivatives. Whether you are a finance student, risk manager, or investment professional, this course equips you with the tools to analyze, price, and apply credit derivatives in today’s financial markets.
