About "Training the street"

Has anyone taken the courses of "Training the street", especially the corporate valuation modules? Will one benefit a lot from those courses if he has passed the Level-2 of CFA?
Thanks.

Yes

Training street covers a different scope of knowledge than the CFA.

level 2 CFA is more in depth, especially FCFE valuation. CFA focuses heavily on multiples whereas TTS is a walk in the park.

Thanks a lot! I wonder

Thanks a lot!
I wonder whether TTS will cover issues related to real work of banking analysts. I find level 2 CFA is a little bit away from the real world, say, FCFE valuation is not so widely used.

TTS

I am in a TTS course right now. I would say that their valuation approach is pretty heavy on multiples, as mentioned.

It's a really solid course. As far as benefit from your perspective? I think perhaps the modeling skills will be beneficial.

I always find it helpful too see how another mind goes about solving the same problem.

If your employer is hefting the tab, glean as much as you can from it!
