Modeling course - WSO/WSP/BIWS/FMVA Advice?

Hi,

I saw on the forum that there were a lot of topics regarding the differences modeling offers but most of these posts are dated, generally they only compare two modeling courses (WSP vs. BIWS), and do not take into account the geographical and therefore accounting differences between Americans and Europeans.

My question is simple: What do you think is the best modeling course offering currently on the market that is closest to reality?

I had taken the FIG Modeling course at BIWS and if this course is very interesting to have a general view of the sector, it is however very far from the reality of the European market specificities, especially in France.

Thanks in advance.

I’m currently working on the WSO Elite Modeling package. I think it is a solid option and probably worked out best for me. The courses are easy to follow and engaging. They switch up instructors on some courses which I find valuable because of their commentary throughout the lessons. I do also watch videos from M&I channel (BIWS), but have found myself getting lost in them at times. That’s just my experience. 

 

Thanks for your answer, how do you find it in comparison with your finance courses?
 

If anyone has worked through all materials, feel free to share !
