    A very useful course.

  4. Zahra Kiboko –

    I wish I could give this course 0 stars. If you work in advisory/professional setting, you would know how useless this course is after completing it. Teaching valuation but not doing it in Excel is futile. The examples are a joke. It would have been better if they used proper financial statements of a real-life company. Use published financial statements of any company, and create scenarios to make it realistic. The FS extracts used were a joke. This course is not practical at all. It teaches you like you are about to attempt an ACCA exam and not a professional who is expected to do a valuation in a real work setting, which in my opinion, goes against the whole “professional development”. If you have an assignment at work and expect this course to walk you through the process, don’t even bother.
