It is a scam. Instructer has heavy accent, he has only 19 pages to show and most of them repeating. Search this topic on google and spend 30 min, you will learn more and better. Waste of money and time.

The course is excellent but don’t understand the man what’s he speaking sometimes. Maybe subtitles can help too also he can add full discription as soon on the screen

The speaker has a very strong accent which combined with technical glitches was difficult to understand. In #8, audio was lost from 3:45 to 4:24, 5:03 to 5:45 and from 6:01 to 6:33. This was the part of the course when he was walking through the actual calculations for NAV so this was very frustrating. #9 is redundant with #2, #10 was redundant with #5 and #11 by this point is very outdated so does not add anything to the discussion. Also in #8 he used the terminology he was describing incorrectly (said "Gross NAV" which is confusing and not what he meant. Technical glitches also made it hard to follow the slides there in the middle of #8. I was able to figure out the calculation ultimately by piecing the slides together and pausing to take notes.

This course is fine as a general introduction, but does not scratch beyond the surface. It is pu t together unprofessionally - Skipping back and forth between slides, recording while not presenting, audio gaps, etc.. Section (5) and (10) are the same exact lesson. Disappointing considering the price of the class

Good intro but needs to be more organized and polished in the presentation. There's a bit of jumping around when doing the NAV lecture. I just took a job as an Alternative Investment Accountant.

The captions do not match the audio and the course does not discuss any of the topics in detail. It barely brushes skims over the topic and at least two or more slides under course content are repetitive.

Its the worst course ever. Content is repeated. Material is available on youtube too. Its just one video worth 2 mins, everything else is crap on this course.

The course was very basic and the worst part is, the certificate mentions the duration of the course which is 34 min which is really sad, will not recommend to anyone.

i think it is very short it must be more than 5 hours videos by adding examples and and More NAV Calculation example with accounting journal entries which are related to hedge fund investment. because this is certification course. i love Udemy.com i hope it will add some good features which will help us to improve more clarity thank you

The narrator needs to speak more clearly. Also it seems as if this course was put together very quickly in a rush instead of delivering a proper course, for example the instructors audio shuts off numerous times during lectures, the instructor accidentally goes to a wrong slide and has to get back to his place and also two of the lecture videos were added again to make the course seem longer than what it actually is.

This is literally the most basic information ever. Wikipedia offers more information and I cannot understand this guy. Also he directly reads from the screen so it is pointless to even hear him talk.

I feel like I was robbed of money, this instructor is not only unbearably slow but the material is underwhelming and basic.
