This section has testimonials from current students and alumni.
The examples provided were down to earth, very simple and applicable to our daily lives, hence easy to digest, in relation to the complexity of such notions in the Financial Market. [The course] helped me better understand the fundamentals behind NPV & NFV and how they apply to the evaluation of projects. Definitely signing up for the next module on Financial Modeling.”
