Excellent course for me who wanted to learn a bit more about PE. Easy to follow even for me as a non-native English speaker. Worth every dollar.

It meets my expectations to get an overall insight about Private Equity Finance. I learned too much from the course. My expertise is not finance . Although I am unfamilier with PE finance , it is really helped me to understand a lot of details. In addition to this ,The course is too long. Maybe it can be divided as separate courses. I am not sure if it is really needed to include "Why do startup fail" part in these training. Good course , Thanks

I haven’t finished the whole course but so far this is a great overview of private equity. It is detailed enough to provide context but not that I feel as though I am lost. I work in the finance industry as an accountant and this is relevant to my role as it’s providing great context to the types of transactions I am exposed to.

I really liked how this course was able to explain such a large topic in a concise and structured way. The only thing I thought it lacked was more step by step explanation in the valuation and financials (coming from a non-finance student)

It successfully combines a helicopter view, giving a broad understanding of the subject, with sufficient details to grasp the nuances and complexities involved in the PE industry. This approach facilitates a comprehensive understanding of the PE landscape, including its various stages, key players, investment strategies, and market dynamics. The combination of a high-level overview and detailed analysis enhances the clarity and depth of the information presented, making it an excellent resource for those seeking to comprehend the intricacies of the PE journey. Thank You John.

Very dense, and logically-formatted content! Appreciated the video element as well, as I imagine it would've just been quite easy to simply voice over the presentation, and leave it at that! Great job

This course is delivered by a professional that knows the business intimately. He cuts to the chase without taking additional time with story telling and building himself into a bigger than life example of a deal maker. The entire course has been delivered so far in a very direct and efficient way. I am ready for the rest of the course!
