as u mentioned in your post...u seem to be interested in all the domains in finance which acc to me is not an advisable thing..rest is ur call....
u can also try the NCFM certifications..they have certi ranging frm derivatives,stock,capital market,mutual funds..etc...check the NSE's website for further info....

if u want specific info on a particular field plz post that....finance is as such a huge domain...

i am doing my CA right now and i am working as an article so i have a lot of free time, if i am not wrong these modules are for a sub broker and they charge 1000 per module and there are 12 modules...there is a seperate module for mutual funds also .....i havent decided which field to join because i want to have an overview of all of them and then i'll decide

Dude since you are from Mumbai, check out BSE's website: Bseindia

The stock exchange offers several classrom-courses of short duration like Basic Course on Stock Markets, Derivatives, Mutual Funds, etc. You can pick from the list and go attend these courses at a nominal cost. A few courses are followed by certifications, which is optional. If you complete the certification also, it adds value to your resume.

In fact, in one of my interviews i was quizzed in detail about the Derivatives certification that I took some time back(BSE's Certification on Derivatives Exchange)
Hope this helps

Ankit.

If you have work experience of 2 years and above, then you should try doing 1 year courses from IIMC in collaboration with either DWGE or NIIT Imperia (both are satellite education providers).
IIMC+ NIIT combo provides a course called Executive Program in Applied Finance (EPAF), which might suit your needs. The fees are close to 1.2 lakhs for the same. Try Googling and you wil get all info.

IIMC+ DWGE provides EPBM (Executive Program in Business Management) but it has a slightly higher work-ex requirement.

If in case you dont have any work-ex, then you may go ahead and do CFA/Diploma programs from various universities via distance learning mode.

Whatever you do, please dont do NCFM modules, they are not even worth toilet papers and won't give you much knowledge. They are pretty shallow and are not very well regarded too.
The only reason why people do NCFM is because as per SEBI regulations, if you want to punch trades on an NSE Terminal (NEAT), then it is mandatory that you have to pass NCFM module/modules. Otherwise it serves no other purpose.

I did CFA and got a great deal of knowledge out of it. My experience with NCFM was more like a joke. I have the certificates for Derivatives Module and Capital Market Dealers Module and I did not study for either of them and got 90%+ in both......this explains that these are crappy certifications only in existence because there is a freaking law behind them...these are basically equivalent of NASD Series 7 and 63 exams in the US or the SII Diplomas in the UK.
