Who should take our course?
In the broadest sense, our training programs are designed for anyone who wants to learn about finance and/or investment banking and be introduced to the technical and analytical skills required in the industry. The program is especially geared towards students currently enrolled in undergraduate or MBA programs who are or will be seeking jobs or internships within the finance industry. Our courses are also helpful to students who want to learn more about investment banking and finance to further other careers where they may work with (or negotiate against) finance professionals. These include students training to become attorneys, accountants, corporate executives or entrepreneurs. Read more about the benefits of this class

I am a member of the school's career center or a professor of finance. How will our students and our school benefit from offering your finance training programs on campus?
Our courses can greatly aid students in their job searches by providing them with skills that are not typically taught in academic courses. With these skills, students can greatly differentiate themselves from their peers at other institutions. Thus, by making the students more marketable to finance firms, the school's job placement rate and reputation can be enhanced. This is especially advantageous in today's very difficult job market.
How much does it cost to take one of your courses?
The cost of our programs depend on a number of factors, including the length of the program, the number of students expected to sign-up, the location of the school, etc. However, to give you an idea of cost, our training programs tend to run in the neighborhood of $200 per full-day per student.
Can the school subsidize the cost of the course?
Yes. The school, through its academic programs, career center or student organization such as a finance club can certainly help subsidize the cost of the program.
I am a student but not at the school at which your course is taking place. Can I still take one of your courses?
Typically, courses are open only to students that are attending that school. However, occasionally, schools will make exceptions for students from nearby institutions. If there is a class scheduled in your area but not at your school, please contact us to find out if we can accommodate you. Also, you might want to consider bringing us to your school for a training course.
I am an alumnus of a school at which your course is taking place. Can I take your course?
Please contact us to find out if we can accommodate you. Generally, if there is space available in the class, then the school will allow you to attend.
Do you offer training programs for investment banks or other financial institutions?
Yes, please contact us to discuss how we can offer a customized training program designed for your firm.
Do you offer any classes for individuals not currently in school?

Will this course be of value to me if I am currently enrolled in an undergraduate business or MBA program?
You will be surprised how many differences there are between the finance that you learn in business school and how things are actually done in the real world of investment banking and finance. While we also always explain the theory behind the concepts that we teach, this course is focused on the practical aspects of finance. Therefore, we believe that most of what we teach goes beyond, often far beyond, what you are learning in an undergraduate business or MBA program.
I already have a job as an incoming Analyst or Associate at an investment bank, hedge fund or other finance firm. How will this class help me?
Taking this class will put you one step ahead of your peers. On day one at your new job, you will already be familiar with concepts such as valuation and financial modeling. You will get up to speed quicker, add value to your deal teams faster, and differentiate yourself through the skills you have already learned.
