CFI Courses are Complete Garbage

So I went out on a limb purchasing the CFI Financial Modeling course pack (FMVA) and am pretty disgusted with what I found. It didn’t take long to realize, while a small portion of the material (mostly the basic accounting) was halfway decent, the other 99.99% was absolute garbage.

Has anyone purchased programs from similar places (WSP, WSO, TTS) who could share their experience and make a recommendation? I’m about two seconds away from requesting a full refund and a time machine to forget I wasted precious hours on this shit.

Cheers
