求助:关于Certificate in Quantitative Finance

大家是否听说过Certificate in Quantitative Finance这个课程,
它的简介是:
The Certificate in Quantitative Finance (CQF), launched in January 2003, has been designed by Dr Paul Wilmott to provide a high-level training course for individuals working in, or intending to move into, derivatives and risk management. Faced with an ever-increasing range of generalist financial courses, the CQF is unique in its structured approach and commitment to the field of practical quantitative finance.

This six-month intensive program consists of straight-to-the-point formal evening lectures and other more informal workshops which deliver the necessary knowledge base and skills needed to succeed in this fast-paced working environment. This Certificate provides an in-depth coverage of practical quantitative methods important in today’s financial markets.

这个课程是半年,夜校,5天一课.但收费是£11,950,已经和读一个master相当了.
请教:    1     这个认证是否很权威?            
            2     与一个msc in quantiative finance课程相比,它有可比性吗?

2000年以后,忽悠新生国际证书的,你方唱罢我登场,如雨后春笋
