Wall Street Prep vs CFI?

Hello WSO,
Would any of you recommend taking the WallStreetPrep course or the Corporate Finance Institute course? I am looking at the WSP premium ($500) vs the CFI FMVA Self Study (also $500). I have time to do it this summer before school starts again.
** Pros and cons of each would be great. **
Thanks.

I would recommend you the following: - Buy WSP - Read and be curious exploring CFI and WallStreetMojo resources - Add the YouTube videos of BISW

WSP Premium Package has good material and a lot of free courses to get to know industries specifics or other skills (PowerPoint, Negotiation, etc). CFI/WSM/WSP resources explain a lot of the gaps in the concepts that you may find in the videos. Finally, I've found another way to look to several concepts or process by watching BISW YouTube videos.

I haven't used CFI paid courses but I've found its resource videos to be useful too
