I have read some positive feedback of A.CRE's Accelerator modeling training on this forum. In your opinion, is it the best program out there at the moment? If so, is the core package sufficient?
Any other advice regarding education would be appreciated. For reference, I'm targeting development analyst roles.

Hey Analyst 1 in RE - Comm, I swear if I had a silver banana for every lonely thread I posted too I'd be richer than @compbanker ...
More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
I've heard it's good, but they go a little overboard in detail and get cute with the modeling. It did seem like a TON of material for me. The course description even said it takes about 300 hours to complete.
I went with Wall Street Prep's course. I'm happy with it thus far.
Did you go with the free or paid one?
Paid. I didn’t know WSP had a free option.
Looking at the WSP course, how have you enjoyed it so far? Debating between ACRE and WSP, but being in school I’m not too sure I want to put in the immense amount of time for ACRE at the moment. Is WSP doable to complete within a week/weekend?
DELETED - didn't realize I already responded here.
I went with A.CRE and thought it was great. Spencer and Michael give you access to their own forum where they regularly answer any questions you may have. In addition to that I found their teaching style super easy to follow.
Definitely the best and most in depth, but not really worth the time for everyone unless you really want to get in the weeds.
which course(s) would you recommend then?
By far the most in-depth and closest to real life modeling. REFM is the only other course that gets very in-depth and to the level of institutional models. The others are very surface-level, basic modeling (can't speak to the WSP course as a disclaimer).
That being said it is a huge time commitment.
How big of a time commitment is the class would you say?
for someone new to RE and RE modelling, which one would you recommend? I work at a debt fund fwiw if that's relevant. BIWS seems good but open to hear what more experienced people in the industry recommend
