Financial Modeling & Valuation Analyst Course By Corporate Finance Institute

I spent around 2 months and between 150-200 hours in order to obtain the certificate. I used OneNote to save all notes and formulas. OneNote also helped me with printing my notes by saving as pdf because I study more effectively with physical study materials. I think the course is very useful for people who are willing to learn or getting better at building financial models or making valuations through Microsoft Excel.

If a person completes all courses with a good grasp, in my opinion the final exam is not very difficult to pass. The most important thing in order to pass it is understanding how to build financial models and making valuations. It is also usefull to solve mock exams until feeling comfortable taking final exam. The certificate and the courses are very beneficial for real-world applications and also theoretical courses at the beginning help improve the understanding of financial models.
