Sthembile Cele - Cohort 19 - October 2024

Manager - Financial Risk and Banking Prudential Regulations, PwC UK

“BTRM is a great program for anyone in the banking or treasury space—or anyone aspiring to enter it. It offers an international perspective on banking challenges and best practices and is taught by experienced treasury professionals.

The structured approach helps expand your knowledge across key treasury functions, from balance sheet management to governance frameworks. If you’re looking for a program that integrates different aspects of treasury management into a single, comprehensive framework, BTRM is definitely worth considering.”

Frans Uusiku - Cohort 19 - October 2024

Strategy and Business Development Manager, First National Bank of Namibia

“The BTRM provided much-needed clarity, especially on risk frameworks, balance sheet management, and the importance of a strong risk culture in banking. One key takeaway for me was realizing that all bankers, by default, are risk managers because they are entrusted with depositors’ money.

The BTRM is a professional qualification that applies to many finance-related disciplines. No matter where you work in finance, risk management, risk appetite, and risk mitigation will always be relevant.”

Syed Imam - Cohort 19 - October 2024

Treasury Analyst, Asset & Liability Management, Perenna Bank

“In a startup, senior management is often pressed for time. Instead of having to explain concepts, models, and fundamentals to me, they knew they could outsource that learning to BTRM. This meant that when we had discussions, we could focus on practical implementation rather than the basics.

It saved their time, my time, and helped us be more efficient in tackling real treasury challenges”

Romulus Mircea - Cohort 19 - October 2024

Head Of Treasury, Raiffeisen Bank Romania

“The programme helps broaden your perspective, enhance strategic decision-making, and provides real value—both to individuals and the institutions they work for.”

Daniel Brito - Cohort 18 - April 2024

Risk Management FM Americas: Rabobank North America

“BTRM provides a comprehensive understanding of Treasury and risk management, filling in technical knowledge gaps. That’s why I decided to gradually enrol my entire team in the program. I also wanted my team to think beyond just risk management—to understand how different departments interact, how senior management and ALCO decision-making works, and how the Treasury function operates within a bank.”

Florence Anglès - Cohort 18 - April 2024 (Awarded The Wiley Prize)

Lead Enterprise Risk Management Lead Enterprise Risk Management, Alpiq

“The programme is well connected with other organisations, such as treasury associations, and offers an international perspective. That global approach allows you to compare best practices across different financial markets, which is incredibly valuable.”

Chih Chen - Cohort 17 - October 2023

“This program is a fantastic choice. It gives a clear, structured understanding of how banks operate and what the best practices are in risk management. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their expertise in banking and treasury.”

Sathya Sri - Cohort 17 - October 2023

Director, Regional Treasury, Americas, Standard Chartered Bank

“What I anticipated to be a busy and stressful 6 months (back to school after couple of decades was not supposed to be easy?!) had turned out to be an enjoyable and enriching experience. I’d reckon that the primary reason behind this is the course structure; BTRM is led by practitioners for practitioners! Every single lecture was rich in content, connecting real life examples and experiences. Highly recommended for Treasury professionals.

Many thanks to Professor Moorad Choudhry, all the faculties and those behind the scenes, who were involved with the design and delivery of this course. This truly was an amazing learning journey.”

“I have to echo the sentiments of the other members of the cohort in saying that this course was so applicable to my day to day work. Only yesterday I was contributing to a discussion that I otherwise would have had no knowledge on.”

Alex Matarucco - Cohort 14 - April 2022

Sr ALM Trader | Treasury, Banco Bradesco

“In a relatively short time, the BTRM gave me the chance to learn about various areas of ALM. My knowledge of Balance Sheet Management increased dramatically, consolidating concepts and good practices. The BTRM Course was an invaluable experience and I consider it to be the highly recommended for ALM related workers.”

Dr. Periklis Thivaios - Cohort 11 – Oct 2020

Partner, True North Partners LLP

“After I finished the CFA in the financial risk management qualification I promised myself I’ll never do it again. So already, being convinced to start with the BTRM, clearly there was something that I felt that attracted me about the structure of the course and the curriculum. The truth is that what I really enjoyed about BTRM is the focus that it has on risk management for the financial services industry which is exactly what I’m working on so it was a course that was tailored to what people who work in financial risk management, within the banking sector, within the treasury department need to know. Tailored to their needs and taught by experienced industry professionals, not just tutors, which I think is something quite important.”

Jair Daviran Falcon - Cohort 8 - April 2019

Vice President Balance Sheet Management, Citi

“Many professionals in Peru and Latin America have either taken or are considering taking the BTRM, so it has a strong reputation worldwide.

What I really liked about the program was its structured approach. It covers essential Treasury topics, but it’s also flexible enough to apply to different banking structures and regulations in various countries.

Thanks to the BTRM framework, I was able to develop a global perspective while still being able to apply it locally. This has been key in my current position.”

Bejoy Padamadan - Cohort 8 - April 2019

Head IFSC Banking Unit, Federal Bank

“BTRM isn’t just a course—it’s a lifelong learning journey. Once you enrol, you become part of a global network of banking professionals who continue to share knowledge and insights. That’s one of the biggest advantages of the program.”
