it's a lot, i need to do a lot of revision for this as it is extensive.
This course is incredibly informative and well structured, providing clear explanations and practical examples that made even complex topics easy to understand.
From module 1-4, I understood it, but form module 5, it was shaky for me. The course is a good one, but the formulas in the macro key set up aren’t responding on excel , so it made it frustrating, but the teaching is really good and well explained.
"I found this course to be exceptionally well-designed and impactful. The lecturer’s clarity, depth of knowledge, and engaging teaching style made complex concepts easy to grasp and apply. The course materials were thoughtfully organized, and the interactive elements kept me engaged throughout. I now feel more confident and well-prepared in this subject, and I’m truly grateful for the high quality of instruction. Thank you for such a transformative learning experience!"

It was really helpful and quite detailed.
It was a good introduction into the wide scope of financial modelling. I got better understanding and mastery of excel and macros shortcuts.
It was very informative although the last module was very confusing
