DGCX introduces online certification course

The DCPP has been tailor made for aspirants wishing to pursue a career in the commodity derivatives markets. Certification will be awarded following an online exam which will be conducted at approved examination centres.

The DCPP will serve to educate and enable participants from other financial services industries to become well-versed with commodity derivatives markets. The qualification will ensure that holders have acquired sufficient knowledge of the subject. Emphasis will be given to provide practical knowledge rather than theoretical knowledge.

Framroze Pochara, CEO of DGCX said: "In addition to creating the world's newest commodities exchange we have a duty to educate the local workforce. This will add strength to the initiatives of Dubai Government to position Dubai as a knowledge economy and will result in employment generation. A key objective of the DGCX is to develop understanding of commodities markets amongst UAE Nationals and the wider expatriate community.

"The DCPP certification is expected to be one of the fastest growing professional credentials in the region and will be a globally recognized standard for measuring the competence and expertise of commodity and derivatives professionals. This is an opportunity for existing professionals from the industry as well as others who are interested in pursuing new careers in this exciting field." Mr. Pochara added.

The uniqueness of DCPP is its online examination feature using which the candidate is informed about the results immediately after they appear for the exam. The awarded certification has a validity of three years, starting from the date of its issue.
