I'm a sophomore, and failed to land any type of i-banking or corporate finance SA position. To make something productive of my summer, I'm planning on taking either the Deal Maven Applied Financial Modeling e-course or the Training The Street Corporate Valuation Training. Does anyone have any experience with either of these programs? Also, would these carry enough weight in an interview or on my resume to make it worth my time? Thanks.

Learning the concepts should
Learning the concepts should make it worth your time. All people care about is the resume, god forbid you actually learn something.

I'm doing it to learn about financial modeling. I was asking if the course was recognized as a meaningful learning tool by recruiters. Having these skills and not being able to ever use them would be a waste, wouldn't you say?
I beleive they have a client
I beleive they have a client list on the DealMaven Website. Apparently some BB use it to train their analysts, so I would guess it's pretty recognized.
Do both. They certainly
Do both. They certainly won't take the whole summer, though. TTS is about a 5 hour time commitment, and DealMaven is around 30-40.
Think about reading Damodaran's Applied Corporate Finance.
BBs use
Most BBs use training the street. Damodaran also had some great books out and a resourceful website.
