High-quality training

Really grateful for the amazing training Financial Edge offered us. I have had different financial trainings in the past and this was definitely the best I have ever had! The teacher Phil Sparks made the course really very engaging, and the training was as beneficial for people with no financial background as for people with previous financial experience / background.

Goal Role Pathway.

Goal Role Pathway.

The training provided by Charlie Noble is part of my personal career development.

He did an amazing job by teaching me and the other attendees key hints and thoughts regarding financial analysis to protect and prevent risk for the Bank.

I am really pleased with the academic ways Charlie Noble uses to teach during this and other trainings I been with him.

Great experience with Phil Sparks (from Financial Edge)

I had Phil Sparks (from Financial Edge) as an instructor for a summer investment banking internship recently, and really could not recommend him enough. I came into the program with very minimal technical finance background, and Phil made what could have been a nerve-wracking and stressful experience such a wonderful time. With his kind patience and cheery attitude (and the best jokes ever), the days passed so fast and I now feel much more confident heading into the summer. I learned so much and made great friends through the classroom culture he led — I know we are all forever grateful. Thank you Phil!!

Great training sessions

Great training sessions, really appreciated the live sessions which are useful for sessions like excel related skills.
Only (very) slight piece of feedback is sometimes the instructors go through concepts very quickly which can be hard to follow for novel concepts.
Overall though really liked the sessions, instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and engaging.

Disappointing response time

I am writing to share my disappointment with the service as I have asked the Instructors and Online support for a few clarifying points on the quizzes. It has now been 4 business days and I have still not received an answer to my questions, which really defeats the point of progressing through further modules and learning new content. The answer keys for quizzes are also very unhelpful as it does not provide a step-by-step answer but rather a theoretical approach.

Amazing!

The product is fantastic. Each topic is taught in individual modules that have a number of Excel workouts, and a comprehensive quiz at the end to make sure you are fully absorbing the content. I couldn't recommend it enough!

Wouldnt recommand.

Some context.
I did acourse listed as "beginner"
I have a formaly registerd IQ of 134 so i can learn pretty well.
My native language is not English.
I am average with excel.

+ Good video's and workouts.
+Knowledge trainers.
+ Exellent respons times on questions.

- Unfriendly trainers.
- No effort put in at all to help you understand things. They will tell you to do x and y to get z. But if you dont understand why, they wont help you. And then in the exam, where things are formulated diffrent to try and trap you, you will have problem.
- If you are not an excel guru you gonna have an extra problem.
- Me and some other students found multiple errors in the excel sheets, and in the video's. Making it feel rushed. That together with the unwillingness to sit down and help people understand makes this feel like a money grab.

I liked how the tutors simplified the course. They were simple to understand. I believe that a learner should have more than one opportunity to take a graded assessment. This is so that concepts that were previously difficult to fully comprehend can now be understood better on a second trial.
