For those who completed BIWS Courses

Got a quick question for those who've completed BIWS Courses - interested in hearing how long you took to complete each of the following modules:

  1. Excellence with Model
  2. Financial Modeling Fundamentals
  3. Powerpoint Pro

Also please state whether you've had relevant finance/excel experience prior - whether it's beginner, medium, expert

I'm looking to complete it but just was wondering how long of a time commitment I need to put in to finish those courses and fully grasp the material coming from a non-finance background.

Thanks

I spent several days going over the Excellence with Excel module. I could only sit down at my comp for so long - Excel training can only be so fun and entertaining. Great program, but I am definitely tired of Brian's voice.

 

I did each section of Excel in one day and took another day to just review everything and practice so about 4 days for that. I'm also working on the financial modeling but its gonna take me forever cause I hardly get time now that work is picking up. Theres much more material and more to understand so that one can take a while but you'll learn a lot.
