Common Questions

Here's what most prospective students want to know about our program structure and requirements

You need basic Excel skills and comfort with numbers. Most successful students have some business or finance education, but we've had people from engineering, law, and other fields do well. The key is being willing to practice outside of class time.
Plan for 6-8 hours of work outside class each week. This includes reviewing lectures, working through practice problems, and building your models. The workload is heaviest during weeks 7-10 when you're learning valuation techniques.
We offer career guidance and help with resume review, but we don't guarantee job placement. Many graduates have moved into analyst roles or advanced within their current companies. Your portfolio projects from the course often become talking points in interviews.
Microsoft Excel is essential - we recommend the full Office 365 version for best compatibility. We also introduce Bloomberg Terminal basics and some Python libraries for data analysis, but Excel remains the primary tool throughout the program.
Yes, most of our students work full-time. Classes are evening and weekend sessions, with some content available for flexible viewing. However, the program is demanding and requires consistent effort to keep up with assignments and projects.
