I thought this would have made me felt overwhelmed, But it did not! As a beginner, I understand the ratios, calculations and their meanings. Learnt some excel tricks, stock screener and much more. I am so happy I took this class with this instructor!!

The instructor speaks with a heavy Indian accent which is sometimes difficult to understand.

Its beyond my expectations. the instructor is very clear and make you understand the very basics. Will surely opt for more courses from the same instructor. Highly impressed with the way of teaching. Would recommend to my friends and colleagues.
By Mphosi on 12/17/2019
This was a great course, the jargon was all explained in "normal language" the math was simplified and the excel examples were very useful. The lecturer goes over a few examples multiple times, felt a bit redundant but coming to the end of the course I feel that help stick the concepts to my mind. There's a good amount of course material to use, I legit have nothing bad to say about the course. More examples and varied case studies would make me rate this course a solid 5/5 but for now it's 4.9/5

It is a very good course that I can recommend to anyone who needs it. I liked the time saving techniques used and the expert knowledge of the presenter. Ratings was a new concept to me so I thought it could have been discussed more.

This course is simply wow in many respects. Simplicity. Teacher’s experience and exposure. Teacher’s love for teaching. All and more were exemplified throughout. I’m more confident about accounting and financial analysis than before I took the course. The teacher kept his 80/20 promise indeed. May God bless you and your career more.
By Omar Shafei on 11/23/2018
yes, very good match. i wish that the instructor would've dug deeper in the meaning of efficiency ratios, how they reflect the numbers on the balance sheet and P&L. Also the excel exercise was very nice and intuitve, but I guess the instructor forgot to credit the inventories account and debit the COGS expense when making a sales revenue.
By Klara Orsos on 8/22/2018
I am now more aware what financial analysis covers and think - with consistent practice I will be a professional financial analyst at my next workplace. One piece of constructive advice from me: please, start explaining the small stuff, too, for example the meaning of price-to-book value. All in all, it is a very useful course with an experienced tutor in it. :)
By Afham Ameer on 8/14/2016
This was an informative course. The only gripe i have is that i wished he talked slower as i had to rewind countless times to comprehend the subject material. In addition, it became a bit repetitive at the end and more detail writing a financial report could have been more useful. All in all, the course is worth the cost of admission.
By Segun Longe on 8/1/2016
Very clear videos. Good examples. Nicely paced. The only thing would have been a nice summary sheet of the course e.g. a quick summary of the financial ratios to quickly glance at or the steps to filtering companies for bench-marking i.e. the parameters you choose in screener Apart from that an excellent course
