I find this not for complete beginners. The way of teaching using technical jargons and terminologies, Rather difficult to understand the concept. Longer explanation and random throwing of examples during the topic and losing sight of the current topic could make a beginner completely lost.
By Ricardo Hurtado on 10/25/2025
The content is great and the order of the presentation is logical and the content overall is useful from the first to the last minute. All that is taught in this course is applicable to the every day activity of any credit analysis. I finish it, plenty satisfied. The half start left out is strictly for the lack of edition. In between section 4 and Section seven, there are some few stoppages during the presentation where there are some confusion in terms definition or logical thinking, that it is completely understandable that it happens, but in a couple of them, left the feeling that the explanation ended without the right clarification. Otherwise, kudos to the instructor and his team preparing this course. If I say that it is a great starting point for becoming a credit analyst specialist, I don't exaggerate.

Good instructor and lessons. I would liked to have seen some more detailed explanations to some topics and more background information to some term and concepts.

ES UN EXCELENTE CURSO, CON UN EXCELENTE Y BIEN ESTRUCTURADO DISEÑO DIDÁCTICO DE VANGUARDIA, Y UN EXPERIMENTADO Y HÁBIL INSTRUCTOR, DE MUY ALTO CONOCIMIENTO NO SOLO DEL TEMA SINO TAMBIÉN EN LA IMPARTICIÓN DEL CURSO, TIENE CONOCIMIENTOS, ACTITUD Y EXCELENTE DESEMPEÑO EN LOS TIEMPOS. EXCEDE TOTALMENTE MIE MEJORES EXPECTATIVAS.

This definitely hit upon areas in my normal course of work that I experience but was not trained on, and was a cursory high level overview, BUT not high level enough to be too broad. It was specific enough in many areas that I have many takeaways I feel will make me better and more valuable in my employee to employer interactions
By Mohammad Salman Manan on 3/20/2025
This course is good because it helps me sharpen my understanding as a credit analyst, but I think the quality of this course can be improved by providing sample calculation training so that if there are those who are not experienced in this field, it is easier to understand this course.
By Trang Nguyen on 11/23/2023
The course is useful for a banker who wants to pursue corporate banking career. However it would be more helpful if this course comes with attached materials for later recall or real-life examples in calculations of ratios, industry analysis and projection etc. That would best demostrate how these knowleldge applies.

I've been working as an analyst for 4 years & took this course to fine tune my skills and explore any new ones. I have learnt some new perspectives and methods from this and for £16 I think this course is a bargain. If you are completely new to financial analysis I'd say its a great way to get an insight. It wont teach you everything but will point you in the right directions for further study and you will learn some good basic skills and understanding of accounting. It is a recording of the coach in front of a projector screen, which i found better as i personally find the screenshots with a 'generic' voice hard to learn from. The trainer has some personality and is a human being which makes it more engaging. Downside is for some reason the cameraman doesnt seem to spot that hes not getting the full powerpoint in shot at times. I also felt the trainer could have done a case study to demonstrate the framework in action.

The instructor is incredibly deliberate in his words and enunciates well, rendering this course easy to understand. Seeing the instructor's projector and hearing clear recorded audio (lecture style) is a great presentation style as it feels you are actually taking an in-person course. The content is delivered smoothly and evenly, though without exercises there is a lack of ability to put into practice. Compared to 365 Careers courses, this is a lecture that supplies you with information, however, there will be no opportunity to exercise that information if you are out of the workforce. That being said, there is a good amount (2-3 sentences) of elaboration on each 'bullet point.' This course fills in the gaps for those of us working at a bank who did not benefit from formal credit training.
