This course is really good! The concepts, instruction, and overall content are spot on. Everything is explained clearly and in a very easy-to-understand way. Highly recommended!

Concise, clear and too the point. Models look the way your clients would like to see them if you work as a freelancer. No additional noise. Explanations are clear and easy to follow. The instructor's delivery is engaging.

Great way of conveying knowledge and the practical examples; what I like most is that you backup important concepts with their rationale and reasoning. I also liked the story about the terminal value and the exit mutliple vs perpetuity growth approach. Thanks!

Very well structured course and clearly explained. As a former MBA student it was a very quick way to bring back tools that I haven't been using for years.

I learn something new about valuation company for my career in Finance &Banking especially for big4 firm or investments banking

It was a great course, thank you. The only think I'd probably add is a more analysis on how we come up with the growth rate in order to project the future EBITDA, costs, etc.

The instructor explains the concepts clearly, I am viewing this course on my iPhone which is very convenient. I will listen more than once so when excel is required I will be using my laptop but while listening to the course in areas where Excel isn’t Required it’s great that I can use my phone.
By Eugenio Chiavaccini on 12/21/2021
teacher is very prepared. the course is extremely well done and it touches a lot of interesting and useful aspects of the dcf evaluation and beyond!

There is a mistake in the statement. Correct Version - A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. ( Please correct it in your slides)
