So, I personally took FMVA from the Corporate Finance Institute, and it has it all: DCF modeling, SOTP modeling, advanced Excel (with sensitivity analysis, VBA, and shit), and a pitchbook course. Loved it, and recommend it.
yeah it's on my mind too but currently financially tight. I'll try to do it soon, thanks
if you don't mind, can you tell me how long/difficult the program actually is? I'm a CFA l1 candidate too and don't have a lot of free time
If you are financially tight, they do give financial aid. I was in the same position and I got 60% off. It took me 4 months to finish, as I was working FT and studying for a degree all at the same time.
