Easy to grasp with comfortable pace, improvement advice tho would be more comprehensive if on each lectures the facilitator could explain a bit more detail of the underlying theory

This course has helped me to understand more about Financial modeling.

By Oluwarotimi Oseni on 7/19/2020

It has been an exciting and a great learning sojourn. I was able to re-emphasize my knowledge on some financial terms and also gleaned some MS Excel hacks. Most interestingly, I love that their were mistakes and corrections before the final ouput which made the whole learning curve extremely realistic.

Thanks Michael! This was very useful. I appreciated that you used an African start-up for the modelling exercise. Also, your step-by-step explanations were easy to follow along. I will continue joining the weekly sessions that you organise, which I have also found to be quite informative.

If you could possibly put more emphsis on excel formulae, speed up lectures, enlarge the screen, make explanations shorter and more to the point.

This is a superb Financial Modeling from scratch!The instructor did an excellent job by breaking down each of the schedules and building a very robust financial model.Building the model from scratch by practicing along with the instructor has really boosted my confidence to prepare a 3 statement model.

Few doubts regarding financial statement has been clear, and the way of presentation is excellent.

I love this course, it actually taught two skills one in effectively operating the Excel package and also Financial modelling which are essentially skills in the labour market today, am so getting buffed up. I appreciate everyone that Made this course a success. Thank You.

By Omololu Fagbiele on 4/17/2020

It has been very amazing, although I'm not an accountant but the way the teacher explained really helped me to understand as I followed the practical from beginning to the end. I was able to do it also on my own with further research. Thank you very much Mr Michael and Udemy.

By Kazeem Adekunle Adesanya on 4/11/2020

It was something i have been looking forward to learn but the cost is high. The only reason i didn't give a 5 star is because this course assumes the learners are Excel expert too, though i have learnt a lot on the use of Excel from this course so far
