How Boontham Courses Are Structured
Sequential Construction
Each course begins where the previous one ends. Concepts from the introductory course are built upon in the credit quality course, and so on through portfolio construction.
Concept Then Practice
Each session introduces a concept, explains it clearly, then moves to a structured exercise. Participants do not simply listen — they apply what they have heard before moving forward.
Annual Content Review
Materials are reviewed annually against current Thai market data, regulatory changes, and participant feedback. Each intake benefits from refinements made after the previous one.
COURSE 1
Introduction to Bonds and Fixed Income

Covers government bonds, corporate bonds, and savings bonds available in Thailand, along with coupon rates, maturity dates, and yield calculations. Participants learn to read bond offering documents and compare yields across different instruments. The course moves deliberately, giving learners time to absorb each concept before advancing.
