"£400 (!?) and really let down by the content quality..."

I should preface with the fact that I have let management know via email my views on their course so this review isn't a surprise to them.

I have gone through the starting chapters and some of the other videos and for this to be marketed as a course for Private Equity is genuinely a bit baffling. The course content appears to be produced for someone in university grade or lower, not for someone looking to make their way into PE. Why is it teaching basics about asset and liability accounts or the primary statements? Surely someone who is looking to get into PE already knows this information and wants deeper, more rich and complex knowledge that will give them an advantage over their peers.

I have tried to keep an open mind through this course but it is hugely disappointing that for such a large fee, the quality of the content is incredibly basic.

There are other competitors out there (eg, CFI) who offer a vast array of courses that are of high quality and cheaper than this. I have no choice but to finish this entire course, begrudgingly, given how much I spent on it.

In response to my feedback, the managing director (Alastair) responded to me directly which was extremely nice of him. It isn't often you see the MD of a company replying to feedback so this was a nice touch - he even offered a trial on another product within the FE platform.

Despite this, it has still left a sour taste in my mouth given I paid £400 and I have not come out of this with anymore knowledge than when I came in!

"How is the methodology?"

The way is teach the topics makes it so comprehensive and let you connect concepts that allow you to expand your understanding and knowledge. Also the practical exercises let you have exposure to real world practices, that are needed in the industry.

"My review on Investment Banker Micro-Degree"

I completed Investment Banker Micro-Degree which included 4 modules to pass. The modules are Accountant, Modeler, Valuer and Deal Maker. It is compulsory to pass the exams to get the final degree.

Talking about the course

1) The videos are constructed small so it does not feel burden.
2) The concepts are taught well in the videos
3) The workouts after each video is good, as it helps us to practise the concept
4) The tryouts after each topic is also helpful as it helps to understand the topic more

Area of Improvement:-

1) I feel in the Modeler section, there should have been a live case as a mode of teaching. For eg taking a real company and building its model using latest financial, rather taking hypothetical example
2) As mentioned above in the Deal Maker section too LBO Modeling would have been taught by using live case using real company.
3) In the tryout section and also in the final exam, after submitting the answers, we should get detailed answers with the steps to understand where I have been wrong. Each time I had to email for the detailed answers for the questions which i answered wrong
4) After submitting final exam in each section, the question number on the right side turns light blue colour, again this becomes difficult to understand which questions i have answered correct or wrong.

Overall the course is good for beginners, it would have been best if it had live case study modeling using real company
