Those are not free courses. It looks like you're self advertising

He didn't underline the words - the website did.

It's just some annoying web marketing program.

web marketing was underlined

web marketing was underlined - that is classic. I had a class that was purely financial modeling with Excel. It was unbelievable. Macros, VBA, Custom Formulas and the like are now part of my arsenal. Check out the text book and follow along with the lesson plan. There are obviously some sections of the book that won't apply too much to banking (leasing / portfolio management) but some that are the bread and butter of what you will be doing.

Free stuff at www.theanalystexchange.com

Contact Analyst Exchange and attend their free webcast on financial modeling. I did last month, it was very helpful.

Trust me, there is no point in starting early.

check out

docstoc.com, and search financial modeling, or lbo, or any other number of terms; you'll get some good stuff to comb through
