Amazing

Amazing, high quality content with high quality instructors. It is definitively worth the time and cost. I've learned so much about financial modeling and accounting that I can apply to my job.

The trainings are simply amazing

The trainings are simply amazing! They are very well structured, clean, and provide useful knowledge. However, what surprised me the most and left me satisfied was the customer care: I had a problem when I subscribed due to how PayPal was handling payments from Hungary. Their solution was not only very supportive but also very prompt.

Not great

Far better resources out there.

From the course I started, the videos were badly organised and did not provide much value. Looked like there were a few different instructors and they covered the same things so I’m assuming they’ve taken a few courses and combined them to make it look like the course is longer and more comprehensive.

How to prepare financial reporting by taking this financial accounting course

I got a lot of information regarding Financial Accounting concepts and I am fully prepared how to prepare financial reporting from financial statements and this golden opportunity and course was provided by Financial Edge Training. I recommend for all those students and accounting/finance employees who want to know more about financial statements and would like to prepare financial reporting.

Once again, I appreciate Financial Edge Training course for their efforts and supports.

Inability to access free content as promised

When trying to access the free content, and after signing up for the free subscription I was not able to access what was promised. Even in the limited form promised. It was pretty disappointing.

£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!

Hi there,

I am sorry to hear you were unsatisfied with the Private Equity Associate. We include teaching/testing on fundamentals such as asset-liability accounts to ensure that everyone taking the course has a solid foundation on which to build more advanced skills.

It's worth noting that the complimentary Felix subscription you were offered now gives you access to our complete catalog of over 50+ certifications. If you would like a demo of how to access courses within the platform, please do get back in touch.

Thank you for your feedback,
Susanna

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.
