Financial Modeling/Valuation Programs in Orange County - Recommendations

Hello all,

I'm currently looking for full-time positions in the Orange County area and am looking for reasonable financial modeling/valuation programs while I continue my job search (preferably Mission Viejo/Irvine). I don't have any accounting background, so programs offering thorough guidance in accounting, three-statement financial models, reading statements, etc. would be appreciated. I'm aware that UCI offers an Accelerated Certificate Program in International Finance but it's pretty expensive (~$8,000+). I would also be open to hearing your thoughts on effective online programs (Wall Street Prep, etc.); I do have a preference for in-person programs, though.

Thank you all in advance.
