I ordered a couple of the free demos to get a feel for how the instruction is presented, the instructors pace and overall ability to navigate around.
My apologies as I can’t remember the instructors name(Financial Accounting Review) but they spoke in the same tone/verbiage you’d hear in a corporate setting. That adds a level of realism I can relate to.
I’m working through my cpa exams and my next purchase will be one of the packages here.
Look forward to writing an officially product review later on!

The way they have explained is very easy to understand. It covers all the topic needed for the particular course. So I'm very much satisfied with it. If you ask me there is nothing more that can be added, aside from efforts from our(side). Remaining things must be learned through experience.

Programming needs better detail and presentation

Videos need to be explained with clearer detail - definitions, clearer equations, and examples prior to workouts. Many workouts include new items not in lessons. Additionally, the ability to access workouts requires an additional tab each time to download the empty excel doc, rather than within the lesson for download. Lastly, explanations to quiz answers are provided with little detail or math. When questions were asked to multiple professors about the math, no response was given.

High-quality training

Really grateful for the amazing training Financial Edge offered us. I have had different financial trainings in the past and this was definitely the best I have ever had! The teacher Phil Sparks made the course really very engaging, and the training was as beneficial for people with no financial background as for people with previous financial experience / background.

Goal Role Pathway.

Goal Role Pathway.

The training provided by Charlie Noble is part of my personal career development.

He did an amazing job by teaching me and the other attendees key hints and thoughts regarding financial analysis to protect and prevent risk for the Bank.

I am really pleased with the academic ways Charlie Noble uses to teach during this and other trainings I been with him.

Great experience with Phil Sparks (from Financial Edge)

I had Phil Sparks (from Financial Edge) as an instructor for a summer investment banking internship recently, and really could not recommend him enough. I came into the program with very minimal technical finance background, and Phil made what could have been a nerve-wracking and stressful experience such a wonderful time. With his kind patience and cheery attitude (and the best jokes ever), the days passed so fast and I now feel much more confident heading into the summer. I learned so much and made great friends through the classroom culture he led — I know we are all forever grateful. Thank you Phil!!

Great training sessions

Great training sessions, really appreciated the live sessions which are useful for sessions like excel related skills.
Only (very) slight piece of feedback is sometimes the instructors go through concepts very quickly which can be hard to follow for novel concepts.
Overall though really liked the sessions, instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and engaging.

Disappointing response time

I am writing to share my disappointment with the service as I have asked the Instructors and Online support for a few clarifying points on the quizzes. It has now been 4 business days and I have still not received an answer to my questions, which really defeats the point of progressing through further modules and learning new content. The answer keys for quizzes are also very unhelpful as it does not provide a step-by-step answer but rather a theoretical approach.

Amazing!

The product is fantastic. Each topic is taught in individual modules that have a number of Excel workouts, and a comprehensive quiz at the end to make sure you are fully absorbing the content. I couldn't recommend it enough!
