Opinion on the Analyst Exchange

I took their courses including M&A, LBO and Valuation and they were great. I am from a non-target school and AnEx courses helped me get full-time BB offers. Their courses are one-on-one and you can learn at your own pace. This makes a big difference because you have time to ask unlimited questions and really understand that concepts. Another advantage is the case study with instructors which lets you apply your knowledge to live deals that are going on currently in the market. I definitely recommend this course.

Let me know if you any other questions.

But as per I had access to their materials from a friend of a friend of mine, it seems that during the course/classes they use some "amateur" examples and do not work with real companies (like Wal-Mart, GE, etc) - at least on the classes, I don't know the case study. Also, don't you think their formatting is quite questionable as it doesn't seem to really follow the industry in this criteria. What is your opinion on that?

The instructors do start with very basic examples like acquiring/buying a truck for a small company: How will the acquisitions and divestitures affect the financials? The best way to raise capital – debt/equity. But as the material gets advanced, they introduce more complex examples. When I took the course, we went over Starwood Hotels case study and analyzed several other comparable companies like Hilton, etc. AnEx instructors change their case studies frequently and usually use companies that are actually merging, acquiring or getting acquired.

As per their materials, those are just for reference only. They only include examples and formulas.

I recently finished my analyst training program and I am using the same format like AnEx. AnEx format is similar to Morgan Stanley and other BB as AnEx instructors are from these firms.

Let me know if this answers your question.
