This course is very helpful for me learn how to do the basic excel functions and also the valuations by using DCF technique. By providing the practice assignment it was very helpful for me to do the exercise after listening to the topic. I'm very much thankful to your team. Thank you

By Sanjay Krishna Murali on 1/23/2022

A great course for beginners to get know about the basic features of any financial analyst certification courses out there. The explanation methods were very easy and precise that any candidate can follow it easily. 10/10 would recommend this course.

By Muhammad Ayub Salman on 8/14/2021

This course is even much better than what I learn on campus. It's brief but comprehensive from the ground thinking to the how-to apply it. Thank you for this comprehensive course. I hope this learning will bring me to the job I wanted!

By Rajat Tiwari on 7/27/2021

The course really gave a good idea of what the Financial analysts needs to do in their daily work and what they should know in a crisp format, with great practical illustrations to clear the doubts. Although I would appreciate that the solutions of practice questions for some modules (especially DCF and Multiple based) should include a little bit more comments denoting how they arrived at certain values, considering that there are some people (like me) for whom this course is the introduction to finance domain.

By Eugene Johnson on 6/13/2021

This was a great course. Not only did it provide background into financial valuation, it improved my Excel skills. Both of which I can use in my current career.

By John K on 1/24/2020

Just what I was looking for. A very in-depth introduction to excel. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to get an insight into financial analysis. Great Job!!!!

By Shreyas Ravindra Tamane on 8/15/2018

It's a great experience learning through this course! Although the course is pretty much oriented toward the beginners, I expected some more detailing. It's still pretty early to make a generalized comment since I am not even half way through this course, but it can be great if the remaining course takes me in-depth of every line-item comprised in the financial statements. But overall, a good package explained tidily. I'm glad I opted for it.

By Shubham Bhargava on 6/2/2018

Course is really engaging and fast pace, helps you learn things in a much more precise way. Some of the modules were basic but still they helps to add knowledge and one thing which I realized while going through the course is that it lacks real world implications. It wont make sense if I use Module 4 in the real business environment. But still its a must have course for any individual who comprehensively wants to learn financial concepts and wants to make a career in financial industry.

By Shreyas Kamath on 2/6/2018

The course was helpful for me as i understood the DCF valuation in depth. The teaching can be improved by not repeating the same thing again and again. No hard feelings but the teacher made me fall asleep by repeating the same thing.

By Peter Lovberg on 7/17/2017

Course was great. Illustrations however, were easier to follow, and testing should have been done at same difficulty level. Instead, simpler illustrations were followed by incredibly complex practice, where instructor took a quantum leap in difficulty, rather than reinforce the material using equally difficult exercises to really cement the use of the functions taught thru multiple (2-3) simpler test questions. Overall, Ashish mixed in some very pertinent financial analysis concepts which were critical to understanding the main issues faced by analysts.
