Financial Modelling Courses

Hi Guys,

I am new to Financial Modelling and I want to learn using the resources online. I have some basic accounting and financial statements knowledge. I have been looking online and there are so many options like the courses from WallStreetPrep, WSO, CFI, BreakingIntoWallStreet, Mergers & Inquisitions etc. Can someone please tell me what are the pros and cons of the financial modelling courses from these providers so that I can make a much more informed decision.

Thank you very much in advance!

Wallstreet Prep or WSO's one. But if you are recuirting FT / SA and in university you can learn it pretty much for free with Youtube and WSO and other websites etc. There are hundreds of videos on people preparing Income, Balance Sheets and Cash Flow statements and then making a threeway intergrated model and they walk you through assumptions etc. Youtuber Rare-Liquid is a good example of this (Previous JPM Banker).

The only benefit to buying a course is that it is more structured in the way it will introduce concepts and will give some intution behind the "why". But with free alternatives, Bard/Chatgpt it will explain the intuiton aswell.
