The course is designed short and clear. This gives students real expreience when doing financial analyst job in big corporations. The teacher is very down-to-earth, she uses very simple but effective template, but simple is not easy, simple means the best.

I am currently a postgraduate student in Uk and thousands of graduates are there surfing the browsers for jobs and in order to compete with them passing out from a average university is tough(specially when we are an international student). I believe certification course like this will enhance my skills and resume making us fit for the job roll.

I love how she breaks everything down. Very professional and explains everything thoroughly and clearly. I also like that she is using real life experience. It really helps when real life experience is being used. I give 10 star instead of a 5 star. I recommend this to anyone.

The course is a thorough one. It gives you a proper view of what to expect as a finance analyst in a company other than bank or non-bank financial services company.

Great course!, it gave me a clear idea of the task that financial analyst should do within a corporation, I was hoping to see a real data example from a company and how to do forecasting, but overall is awesome!

Personally, I need a course that is more indepth. However, this is a good course - it is well put together and the explanations are clear and well-delivered. I also like the fact that each lecture is focused on the topic - she demonstrates respect for learners' time. Thanks Adriane, for the additional resources you provided. Hopefully, they will be helpful in learning more about financial analysis.

I would like to see more information on time series analysis as well as recording accruals and prepayments in the .xls business plan template provided.

I find this just an overview of the subject. I think the instructor could go deeper especially with real examples or take us through the template created/provided.

This is a great course for anyone in the finance/accounting/treasury area to take. It is succinct and gives real world information that you can use right way. It is worth the price of the course.

I took this course because I just started a new position in which corporate financial analysis is a major component. While comfortable with numbers, the tasks seem intimidating. While I have been in the role for one week with no specific training, this course has answered a lot for me. The instructor is straightforward, helpful, knowledgeable and continually stresses practicality of the knowledge being presented. The course is well planned out and the tools and resources provided are very helpful. I am glad I went for this course. I may update review as I get further into my position.
