Having just completed the CQF (with an IT background) and getting an offer for a Quant Finance job in London I would say it improves your chances of getting an interview. I also enjoyed the course and would recommend it. I found it far more interesting and practical than the CFA which I have also done.

How you compare CQF with online FE certificate courses from Columbia or Chicago?
