Hello everybody,
I'm currently studying business administration at a german university (I'm german), 2nd semester just starts and I'm considering to attend a course at Deutsche Börse Academy to become a Certified Eurex Exchange Trader (http://deutsche-boerse.com/cma/dispatch/en/kir/gdb_navigation/cma/15_Academic_Training/05_Academic_Training/_t_/product.do?productId=50809610EN).
Here is googletranslated version of the curriculum because it's only available for the german version of the site (http://deutsche-boerse.com/cma/dispatch/de/kir/gdb_navigation/cma/15_Academic_Training/05_Academic_Training/_t_/product.do?productId=50809610DE) :

Exercise of options

Protection mechanisms security
Central Trading Functions
It is the action of the system
Trading Support : Messages , Statistics
Examexercises
I think this is a good oppurtunity to express my interest for derivatives and consolidate my knowledge from the s&t interviewguide. Perhaps, this could help getting internships.
BUT:
This course costs 2950€ which is not a little for me as a student and my parents are already paying my study fees and other expenses like rent. Besides, I'm not sure yet if I want to go for trading or for asset management in my later career (If I would go for trading I would stay local, in Frankfurt). Moreover, the final exam would be 4 weeks before my exam week in university and my studies are designed as an intenisve track (6 days a week), so if I would attend I want to be sure that it's worth.
This leads to my question:
Is it worth to become a Certified Eurex Exchange Trader?
Maybe someone who works in the industry (hopefully the admin^^) can assess this properly.
