Testimonials

Jiaquing Lin – PWC – 5 *

Simple examples upfront before diving deeper which does not scare people away that easily and also makes complicated concepts or scary techniques much easier to grasp.  Very structured and logical agenda throughout. The exercise tabs provided for each topic is massively useful for actual practising rather than just listening to the lectures; short courses for each topic which helps with user concentration and also less stressful for full-time workers who are using their own spare time to pick up modelling skills.

Magda Stephenson – The Institute of Risk Management – 5*

I really enjoyed the Operis course Financial Modelling Essentials. All the materials were presented in a clear and concise way. I was able to start and stop at any time and that gave me great flexibility.

Video instructions are just the right length so it is easy to concentrate on them without drifting off.  Written instructions are clear and easy to follow.  The layout of the exercise sheets is great. I really enjoyed the fact that if the exercise was completed correctly the colour of the cells was changing.

I would recommend the course to my colleagues.

Who this course is for:

  • Someone interested in learning best practice financial modelling and gaining the knowledge to perform a DCF model.
  • People wanting to secure their first job on Wall Street or leading international financial markets. As a globally renowned institution a certification from Operis has credibility across the world.
