Extremely thorough treatment of LBO modeling
Extremely thorough treatment of LBO modeling (contains 120 lessons, none of the lessons are fluff). I like that they added some useful tips to keep in mind when creating an LBO model in Excel. Unfortunately I am not a finance professional so I can only review this on the basis of a casual learner who was curious about finance. I am not sure how applicable it would be to real world careers but I can definitely say this is a deep introduction for further studying, at the very least.
I am not sure how it compares to other LBO courses in terms of value for money (if there are even other LBO online courses out there), but I do want to emphasize that it is an extremely dense course compared to most other online/MOOC courses so the price (probably) scales accordingly compared to standard online course prices from other services.

This course taught me a lot
This course taught me a lot about Discounted cash flow modeling in Excel. I pretty much new what DCF is and what the real world implications are. What I hadn't done was real life analysis on companies (lack of time cause of work). This course (and the Elite modeling package I bought it with) bridged the gap between me and what I needed for the career I wanted to get into (buy-side investment advisory). Got the job and here I am. Really grateful for the WSO team for putting such a good resource out.

From zero knowledge of excel to an absolute excel expert
Wall Street oasis took me from zero knowledge of excel to an absolute excel expert,quick with keyboard hotkeys.
I've been hailed by my boss and colleagues at work, trident insurance co.ltd finance department,I used the knowledge also in PowerPoint and word ,these hotkeys apply almost in ppt,word and excel. I've been so efficient yet I'm still in campus.
A local leather turning firm also gave me a role in finance and accounting and it's been a lovely experience, I've actually recoup the money I paid wall street oasis for the course and in fact I got a massive discount, Patrick didn't sell it to me$497 dollars if I remember. The PowerPoint course could improved though,it only gives tricks but does not teach one how to actually create a full presentation or pitchbook. I'm sorry that I have to write my review away from home, I saw the email from Patrick and had planned to do this at home unfortunately my schedule with university,exams have Started and work reasons left me with no time,so seeing the second email I had to pull over and give at least something back by the roadside. If one is keen on a career in finance WSO is the place, it's worth it and the discussion section will broaden your commercial awareness. Thank you WSO.

WSO has great set of courses for those who wants to break into IB world - they do cover all the required basics and advanced topics across valuation, use of Excel and PowerPoint. Having went through relevant BB IB training and trained newcomers, I think this is brilliant value proposition. I still help people prepare to interviews and their first steps in finance world and WSO courses is my usual recommendation.

Great course - not just for modeling
A great course - not just for modeling. You'll pick up the mechanics of Excel, not to mention a robust knowledge of shorts so you never have to touch the mouse ever again. Then you'll learn about a cornucopia of formulas used in finance and how they interact with each other to arrive at extremely useful results.
Finally you'll get to the modeling, and you'll cover that in reasonable depth to understand what you're doing.
The course is well laid out with exams at the end of every module. The files you keep from this are a great future reference if you ever forget how exactly to do something. One last thing that I found excellent: the instructor is not just an Excel instructor, but also clearly works in finance. This shows up in additional tips throughout the course on best practices and how best to present your models.

you need to practice by yourself
I Chose the modelling course because everybody knows that you don’t learn excel at school, you need to practice by yourself. The course takes you step by step from the most bac financial statement construction to detailed DCF financial modelling. Even if you don’t know anything about excel everything is very clear. I was scared that I would lack some excel proficiency when I first started my M&A internship last September but thanks to this class I was even helping my intern peers when they were struggling and impressed the analysts and associates in charge of me. Moreover, being proficient in excel modelling helped me focus on other tasks and occasionally finish sooner in the evening

very straight forward and easy to follow!
The course is very straight forward and easy to follow! It will teach you how to construct your first LBO model and a process to be used when practicing different models. The instructor walks very thoroughly through each of the sections speaking to the implementation and background of an LBO model.
There are questions at the end of each section that could be improved upon, but it's a modeling course not exam prep so it is understanable.
Overall, I would recommend this course to someone interested in learning LBOs.

Boosted my efficiency
The course is pretty comprehensive and probably covered 95% of what I did with Excel during my internship. The keyboard shortcuts in particular boosted my efficiency and I even taught a few to some of my senior colleagues! Note that VBA/macros aren't covered. The timed tests sprinkled in between really helped cement the concepts I learned and be able to apply them immediately. I plan on reviewing the material from time to time to aid in better retention and especially before interviews. The short format of the videos made it easier to stay focused so I would say it's a worthwhile investment of time and money.

A fantastic overview
A fantastic and very thorough overview of everything you need to be a successful Excel user--I felt very confident starting a job in management consulting that my Excel skills would be sufficient.

Great course, very engaging and does not waste your time
This is an excellent course that combines excel training with financial statement modeling. Being in IB for 3 years, the fin model is where you get called out the most since it feeds the valuation tabs. Great course, very engaging and does not waste your time.

Extremely Helpful
I had very moderate experience with excel when I was in University. This course has been extremely helpful in teaching me excel in an applicable way so that I can excel at my role as an analyst.

I used to consider myself to be pretty good at Excel
Working for 5 years in finance and strategy, I used to consider myself to be pretty good at Excel. But what Zach the instructor and the WSO team (including the monkey) have put together makes me look like an amateur. My target since completing this course is to get a stage where I can model without using the mouse (not yet there but getting there). I love the fact that they have put together excel sheets on which you can practice the shortcuts you learn. Started out at 3-4 mins on my first and ended taking less than 40 secs.
I've done Excel courses before like this but with no practice, so only little of what I learned actually stuck. Practice makes perfect so I'm gonna head back to that :D

Super easy to follow
Super easy to follow and I suggest doing the whole thing 2-3 times before hitting the desk if IB is your ultimate goal (or ultimate goal in the short-term lol). I go back to it to refresh my memory and get up to speed. I am also going to re-do the whole thing soon before I hit the desk in a month. If you do that before going to Business School and you don't have a background in Finance, you will be golden. Highly recommend!

A great course to better understand DCFs.
A great course to better understand DCFs. Even if you have only a passing interest in finance or will just rely on analysts to provide you DFCs, everyone should take this course. It provides just the right amount of detail to provide a comprehensive knowledge base of DCF and takes you through the process.
A solid use of time and great value for money - especially if purchased within the bundles.

In depth look at relative valuation
This course gives you an in depth look at relative valuation. It is one of the best courses on the market to gain a deep understanding of comps. I took it after a year on the job to further understand the subject.

This is a very important skill.
As a financial auditor, this is a very important skill. Knowing how each financial statement is interlinked with the other and how changes in one can affect the others helps to analyse and understand the many relationships that make a company.
However, despite this being of second nature to me, I decided to check out the WSO financial statement modeling course as part of the Elite Modeling package while planning my move to investment advisory. Needless to say, like the other WSO courses, this was a well-planned out course from which even a seasoned professional like me could take away a lot. Knowing various standards that are used in the finance and investment community helps to blend in with the pros.
Would definitely recommend getting not just this but the whole elite modeling package if that's still on offer. Thanks WSO team! :)

Received this as part of a bundle (fantastic value, I might add), and this was the perfect walk through for someone that knows theoretically what an LBO is, but wants a nuts and bolts perspective. Very accessible and quickly brings you up to speed. A very high yield course.

Consider this your first investment in a long career...
After all, you've likely already spent tens of thousands of dollars on college (and perhaps tens of thousands more on an MBA)...
When you start your coveted investment banking job, you'll be making well over $100,000...
...over $300,000 if you have an MBA...
And that's just the beginning of a long and very lucrative career that could easily net you millions...
Even at thousands of dollars and your ROI would still be huge…
At a fraction of that price, the ROI is even better... When you do the math, it's a no brainer.
And that doesn't include the time you'd have to spend figuring all of this out and the hours of sleep these courses will save you.
Even if you used the free info online, you'd still have to find it, organize it, vet it and test it to get it to work. That would take months… and at that point, you may have missed your window.
The WSO Investment Banking Interview Course gives you everything you need to be super-efficient and get ready for your Investment Banking interview… quickly and easily.
But we're not going to charge you thousands...

Got me up to speed
As a new joiner to the PE space from strategy and audit, this course got me up to speed on all the considerations that go into modeling for LBOs. It was especially helpful due to the increased PE activity in the current market (low-interest rate, lots of distressed deals due to covid, etc). My boss was extremely happy that I hit the ground running. Thank you WSO team for making such useful courses! I've used their other courses before this and like always, I've never been disappointed.

very effective and helpful
The LBO modeling review was very effective and helpful - there are an abundance of videos to watch and take you through each step of designing an LBO. Think the one of the most beneficial pieces are the handful of case studies provided to practice after the course

About
Top professionals with many years of Investment Banking experience
No, you don't need an MBA to land an Investment Banking job. In fact, if you don't have Investment Banking experience prior to an MBA, it becomes even more difficult to break in since there are fewer seats for post-MBAs.
In investment banking, having sharp analytical skills is crucial. The problem is that most candidates now prepare well for these technical tests and ace them and ignore the fact that interviewers go an extra mile to test you on a lot more than just technical skills. Some test you on your knowledge of the industry, while others throw in brain teasers and mental math.
