Hey guys,
I was just wondering if anyone in this forum has ever taken this Bank modeling course from Wall Street Prep....
Is it worth the time and money spent???
Any details on how this specific program is structured??
Cheers.





Ive completed TTS (pretty
Ive completed TTS (pretty basic) and WSP. WSP is certainly a good start for an incoming analyst or for someone looking for exposure to various modeling templates and valuation techniques. The first section focuses on standard IB valuation (peer comps, transaction comps and DCF), lays out how these techniques are related and the pros/cons of each. The second section (if i remember correctly) breaks down accretion/dilution analysis and LBO modeling. The actual content is a bit dated and should probably be updated. Overall I would say that its worth the money but not absolutely necessary.
Patrick also offers some good services through his Analyst Exchange program I believe.
This is WSP's Premium Package - Basic Valuation not FIG
Thanks for your comment. But I was originally asking about WSP's Bank Modeling course (a FIG type of thing), a new one they have released recently.
This one that you are talking about is the WSP Premium Package and I have already taken this one and Wall St. Training some years ago as well.
Just wanted to know more about FIG, and saw this program and wanted to hear from fellow monkeys about it.
Anyone??
Anyone??
If you are going into FIG
If you are going into FIG group it would be worth it, but otherwise I would not worry about it...
Anyone used it?
but has anyone already used it (FIG modeling from WSP)?

Why would you waste your own money on a course. You'll be thought what you need to know.
