The phone app is not updated

The phone app is not updated, so I can't have access to the trainings. Moreover, I can't skip videos if I am already familiar with the topic so it does not show tick mark. The topics are delivered in a friendly way. However, some tasks need more practice

Worth every penny

Worth every penny. The fact that you can explore the other pathways within the period of subscription makes it quite generous and adds immense value.

Very Comprehensive Training - Clear Progression and Good Level of Details

Took the VC training and liked it a lot. Very comprehensive, you get to see all the accounting stuff that you learnt at school and forgot, a lot of workouts so you can make sure you truly understood the concepts.

Clear categorization of the subjects, making it less painful to complete.

Not sure if it is enough in terms of VC knowledge since I work in VC already and did this training in the summer between my A1 and A2.

Great for anyone breaking into Investment Banking

Financial Edge helped me prepare for Investment Banking interviews and ultimately land a summer analyst position at a bulge bracket bank. The technical knowledge is explained in such a relatable way and designed to give you a deep understanding of the sometimes complex financial concepts.

Avoid if looking for advanced content

Hi,
I tried contacting FE a few times to now avail before writing this review.
The content of their courses is fair for anyone looking to get an entry level position. If you have experience in any of the fields, you'd rather avoid it. Unfortunately it is not how they market this product, by saying that the content is created by experienced former bankers. The content is largely comprised of materials that can be found for free online with enough research.
I requested for a refund, given that their policy is that this is possible within 30 days of purchase. As I said before, they refuse to reply to my emails which sends a clear message: "too bad you were looking for advanced content and believed our advertising"
Hopefully this is useful so other people don't fall for this.

Thanks Susanna for your reply. The support ticket numbers are: #3733678 and #6117783

Hi Mauricio,

I can now see our team replied to your email on October 22nd, we apologise if this was caught in spam.

Unfortunately, your purchase would not be eligible for a refund as per our refund policy found here, as content has been accessed. Our courses tend to start out with beginners topics in mind, but quickly cover more advanced content as the courses progress. The foundational aspects of the courses are essential for many learners, but it is possible to skip ahead where needed.

We will reach out via email directly again.

Thanks,
Susanna

Great investment for me

Hoping to make a jump between careers with very limited knowledge of finance (I'm from a pure science background). The microdegrees are broken down VERY well into bite-sized videos and I enjoy working on the worksheets provided. The tryouts at the end of each module was challenging and tricky, but high quality (reasoning being when compared to majority of other courses with exam questions that were way too simple, the tryouts make you really think). Whenever I had questions, I got a prompt email response with calculation workings shown. So far, I'm enjoying the modules and I thoroughly enjoyed everything so far. It's worth the investment.

Financial Edge Training is a Great Program

Financial Edge Training offers a plethora of financial, accounting, and economic related courses, in addition to providing real-life case studies for students to work through and hone their skills in business analytics. The instructors are thorough in their delivery of the course material, and the Felix app makes curating the optimal learning plan for upskilling very easy. I hope more working professionals in the finance/accounting sector discover this program and all the learning opportunities it has to offer.

My experience of Financial Edge

The courses offered by Financial Edge are very informative and in detail. They are really professional and I hope they will add a lot of weight to your resume. Moreover the course content and quantity along with the price it is being offered at are truly invaluable and cannot match any of its peers.

Thorough Learning Experience

This course is absolutely thorough and equips you with all the technical skills needed to have a successful career in Investment Banking. The course instructors, especially Mr. Gerad Kelly, do an amazing job in explaining the content and keeps it very engaging at the same time. 100% worth every minute of it.

Practical real world info

Practical real world info. Especially like the question answer illustrated numerical format in Excel or text. Not verbose as some other available 3rd party programs. But here's my beef..some of the font size is excessively small. Please enlarge in future editions. Also hope you can offer books on VC or startup valuation cap tables et al.

Wonderful Course

Wonderful course! The lessons are the perfect size to actually retain the info and then practice what you learn. I can't speak highly enough about the instructors, especially Gerard Kelly. The support has been great as well. I would recommend to anyone who feels they want to start a new path.
