The CAS Commodity Professional is a unique programme developed to enhance specialised commodities knowledge, to cater to high-level professionals and to create added value for the participants’ own businesses. Despite the set programme and curriculum, it’s a flexible module that is continually adapted to the participants' needs and to new trends by the programme management team. Attending paid off for me, many thanks to the HSLU team, to the lecturers and to my wonderful co-participants.

Having been in the commodity trading industry for over a decade, the CAS Commodity Professional programme fulfilled my expectations mainly by providing deeper insights across the value chain of trading any commodity. The course also helps the participants to understand current challenges and innovations in the commodity trading space as relates to physical trading, hedging, trade finance, shipping and logistics, risk management, compliance and legal aspects. Experienced lecturers and an inspiring mix of participants from various backgrounds make it a knowledge-filled and rewarding experience.

Commuting from Brussels to Rotkreuz, to Lugano and to the Gotthard to attend the study modules in person was worth it!
