Could have been better if you would explain in detail on using VBA and understanding some concepts. Perhaps provide some references like books or links so that we are equipped with the pre-requisites. The teaching style is good.
By Kgomotso Mamunyani on 1/31/2021
The course should have probably been twice as long so that the instructor can demostrate & explain in better detail. The student is left having to fill in the blanks themselves, which is not a big problem, however I wouldn't have bought a course if I wanted to do that. Hence this course ends up being a long model presentation as opposed to a course with the aim of training students (with a background in finance/accounting) on project finance modeling.
By Lauri Tenhunen on 10/27/2020
I wish this course would walk us through why the model is constructed the way it is. I find myself lost in the model after watching the short videos.. hoped more from this course!
By Pablo Elzir on 10/7/2020
The lack of a case study (or example with input information) for students to try filling the empty model themselves makes it hard to follow, despite having the filled Excel sheets.

Very thorough and clear explanations from Rod. One to watch again as there is a lot of project finance detail that is covered.
By Santiago Martnez Gil on 9/19/2020
Wonderful course. Thanks Rod for everything. Such an amazing experience
By Marielle Zapfack on 9/5/2020
Explanations are quick and not sufficient to understand the various complexities
Poor structure of the course, the topics do not follow a clear process
By Rustam Yaumbaev on 9/2/2020
Wonderful!
By Gilberto Petry on 8/20/2020
Terrible experience! Videos are not playing....
By Tidima Kgorane on 8/10/2020
Definitely something I am looking forward to. I have seen some project finance models and this course will give me the knowledge I need to build my own model.
By Ali Zirgach on 7/23/2020
Yes, but the course explanation could have been much better. It is not really clear, seems like someone that doesn't know the model is just reading through a statement.
By Aleksandra Mancheva on 7/19/2020
The course is very detailed and excellent for learning new techniques and skills to advance in your professional life. Highly recommended!
