Reputation Lost - Beware New Students - Read me before Investing
Totally echo Christian's review below.
I think there are courses from WQU (if you wish to go into core finance and stochastic modelling) and Wall Street Prep. This investment by far has been totally worthless. My experience with the man who runs this has been terrible - he does not have value for anyone's time - call was scheduled to run through the assignemnts submitted 2 weeks prior and the guy does not show up - vanishes - no responses to emails.. So in my view a shady investment where it commits lifetime validity and complete at your own pace - so please excuse me the pain of you purchased it 5 years back - honour that I completed and reached out to get a feedback on asisgment.
Shady part 2: Never enabled my Python module on completing the pre-requisites and went missing without responding to any of my emails.
Please do not invest into this one. Also just for awareness - there are channels in Telegram where I saw his full course modules available - but I was charged - so think carefully 1 bad expereince is also a damage to reputation and a lesson for other people thinking to invest.
If the person running the company wishes for me to revise of remove this review: Just 1 request - please complete all the things you committed to:
1. set time to review my assignment already submitted OR, review and send me the feedback so my course is officially closed.
2. Send me the completion certificate if second module is passed
3. Enable my python module.
4. That's all...
Email proofs - reach out to me directly. I am on Ivyline's LinkedIn channel and he did not care to respond back even there or through direct messages on LinkedIn.
Worthwhile career guidance and professional learning experience
Joining Ivyline Capital program while starting my first year of career has been extremely helpful. Not only is there detailed framework to enhance fundamental financial knowledge, but it is combined with real life cases that can be sourced in interview preparation. Isaac is a patient mentor with a lot of industry experience. By framing questions that guide me to think one step further, he has made the learning experience a lot more memorable and systematic.
The cohort program is also a great networking source. I was able to connect with people who have been in similar situation before in career, and get insights in how to navigate through current problems, as well as what direction to work towards.
Overall, IvyLine Capital program has been nothing but positive experience.
Very happy with IvyLine Capital
I am so happy I have been part of IvyLine Capital - everyone I have spoken to has been so supportive, knowledgeable and friendly! In particular, my weekly meetings with Isaac have helped me so much with learning more about finance and different industries. I am so pleased with my experience with IvyLine Capital so far :)

A truly exceptional program
A truly exceptional program, unlike any other. It excels at bridging the gap between theory and practice, delivering on this promise in every aspect. The program's content is extremely comprehensive, offering a depth of understanding while encouraging a unique perspective and risk-management-focused mindset.
Furthermore, the mentorship component of the program is second to none. Isaac consistently reinforces core concepts and provides support throughout the entire journey. Whether you are well-versed in portfolio theory or are just beginning to explore the world of finance, I cannot recommend this program enough.

Investment & Derivative Program Review
What I like most about the program is that individual topics are taken in-depth, but since Isaac works with each student on an individual basis, everything goes smoothly. The fact that the program is so personal is something that makes the program stand out. Issac is a great mentor. It's a pleasure to work with him.
I would recommend this program to anyone keen to pursue a career in finance, as it bridges the gap between theory and practice. There are plenty of networking opportunities with people from the industry and other students from different backgrounds.

Solid program so far helps you get a grip with finance fundamentals.
It has been very good so far. The opportunities to practise what you learn are great through maverick SMF or the challenges has really helped broaden my understanding of finance

It is a scam, read carefully - The CEO flagged my review for telling the truth, I advise you to read carefully before even thinking into subscribing
It is a scam. They are goons that try to portray this programme as extremely competitive and that they only allow access to a very selective cohort. But the reality is that not that many people apply, and they are thirsty for money and will accept anyone. The majority of these reviews are fake and the CEO probably made them. The programme has got some finance knowledge, but it is things you can find online for free by looking at an IB prep or YT videos for IB interviews, and most of the stuff on the programme is irrelevant.
In the interview, they give you access to their account for a mini demo, even give you their password and guides you through the website but it is just a way to build fake confidence and a sad attempt at building the legitimacy of the programme. They asks stupid questions to elicit answers Yes, Yes, and easy answers to keep you engaged. It is all a scam and is highly orchestrated to make it seem as legit as possible. They want to make people believe that the network + knowledge you access will enable you to enter in extremely competitive firms and more bs.
After finishing the call, you will get the CEO of this whole mess to message you on Linkedin and connect with you (still, trying to build the legitimacy of the programme, they want to make people feel like "oh, THE CEO has added me, surely he must care a lot about me and wants to support me")
-> No kid, it is just a way for you to research him, and buy into "oh he is such a professional" but look at his linkedin, came from an unknown university and has "some experience in derivatives apparently and something else" I feel like if you contact those firms he has had experience in, they probably would not even know who he is, or he probably was not doing what he wrote. Probably cleaning the floors at the offices or being an assistant of some sort.
Anyways, the point of Mr.CEO adding you is to build more legitimacy to the programme and prompt you to become a member. $80 per month geez.
Apparently the revenue is <5m, imagine how many have been fooled and have bought this membership.
I was just looking at the Team at IvyLineCapital and you will see that there is only 1 director who has this IvyLine Capital written this on their linkedin. The other ones don't mention a single thing. Surely, if this was such a strong investment fund, they would at the very least write it on their Linkedin. Plus, google the headquarters, it is just a house.
It is very interesting reading about some workers, if you google one of them, you will see that many photos appears of him, by the University of Bentley. Again, I will not discredit his background, because it seems that the worker has done some work to make an impact in society. However, again, very strategic to hire him, they use "these posts by Bentley" to build up his reputation, and make the audience think that if someone as successful as him is part of this programme, surely that should imply that IvyLine Capital is indeed very competitive and will help your future. Otherwise,Mr Bentley would not be involved, funny how being the Mr. Successful that he is, does not even have Linkedin c'mon.
Moreover, there are people from Wharton, LSE, whatever top schools who form part of the programme, it´s irrefutable. But they are part because they got fooled initially, but ultimately, it is not the programme that helped them land their jobs, it is their whole profile, internships, preparation, backgrounds, confidence... all that helped them reach where they are. If you contact any of them, you will see that they regret joining this and that it was a waste of money. Do it yourself and confirm it if you do not believe me.
am I trying to promote a competitor? No. I am just sick of receiving Mr. Bentley's email about the Investments and Derivatives or maverick bs and thought I would expose them. Trust me, if you want to prep for Goldman or top firms, go on YT, search IB or whatever area you want, get questions and prepare, prepare, prepare. Be confident and with some luck you will get in. Do not give money to any of these fools.
Quality of Education and Mentorship
For a long time, I have had the passion of pursuing quantitative finance as my career. But to venture into Quant Finance, subject knowledge of the industry is crucial. Thats where Ivyline's Cohort came into my life. Along with the theoretical knowledge of financial concepts such as macroeconomics, portfolio construction, and derivatives such as options, the mentors in Ivyline also guide you how to practically implement that knowledge through paper trading, live mentor sessions, and Paper Trading competitions with the cohort members. I am extremely grateful to my mentor for guiding throughout program, and I recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn about financial concepts and make a career in the financial services industry.

Investment and Derivatives Program
The Investment and Derivatives Program is like doing a six-month Certificate or minitiature Master's degree in Finance. It combines fundamental analysis of financial statements, as taught in traditional business courses in accounting and corporate finance, along with material related to financial equity markets - technical analysis, indicators, options and futures, and portfolio construction involving 'Beta'.
It also demonstrates implementation. The analysis of financial statements and the topic of portfolio construction are further illustrated with Excel. The program also introduces using the features of a sophisticated trading platform - ThinkOrSwim. Hence, it's a very comprehensive and well-administered program.

Maverick SMF Review
Maverick is a great fund to learn more about real-world investing. An international fund gives you the ability to connect with many different people with interesting ideas. Implementing the IvyLine cohort to manage real money gives you an advantage over many others, in the investing space and competing candidates for an internship or job.

Maverick SMF Review
Great experience! The ability to network and collaborate on creating and executing pitches of companies and drafting up investment reports really helped to solidify and apply the material from the Investment and Derivative Program.
This is great way to learn and participate in something amazing. Cant wait to see how Maverick will look 2,3, maybe even 5 years down the line!

Ivyline's Quant Program
This program was amazing. I come from a background of self studied finance and computer science after not studying either in college.
The program took me from a very low level understanding of finance related coding problems/scenarios, into higher level problems very quickly.
You still have to practice each module multiple times, and take notes, and pause the videos to understand what is going on and truly internalize the information, but if you do those things, review what you have completed, and keep a steady course, this course will take you literally from 0, to someone who is able to pull stock information from the web, clean, sort, visualize, and use that information to support a claim.
I 100% recommend this program for anyone looking to get into coding from a finance perspective. Regardless of whether you envision yourself being a technical person, the world is rapidly evolving, everyone needs at least some level of technical competance.

Learning finance and investments in the most practical way possible
If you're interested in finance and want a community of people all over the world who are driven to understand the market and portfolio management, then this is the perfect place for you. I joined this program at the end of my senior year of high school after I started to invest through Robinhood and lost money. I was searching for a systematic way I could understand how to invest. That search led me to Ivyline Capital's Investment and Derivative program. Through this program, I was able to learn the very basic: security analysis and financial statements to the more complex: derivatives and portfolio optimization. If you qualify and want to continue your learning, Ivyline Capital also offers a student management fund where you're able to apply your skills as an analyst, trader, or PM. Unlike other programs, you also get to work with Isaac, who is a great mentor who will help you navigate the tough road that includes getting internships and attaining jobs from the top banks. In addition to the program itself, the student management fund, and Isaac, there is a great culture of helping each other through a group on LinkedIn and Slack. If you want to break into banking, sales and trading, and finance in general this is the program for you.

Quant&Python Level 1 for Professionals
I was one of the volunteers to test the "Quant&Python Intensive, Level 1" for professionals. I covered the first two sections that were about working with data. The content is clear and consistent. Since the program is an advanced intensive course, it is better to have at least some basic knowledge in both coding and finance. For example, last sections are about portfolio optimization and derivative pricing which you better know at least the basics on portfolios and derivatives. The most important thing about the course is its practicality. After studying the course, you will have the necessary skills to do the tasks by yourself. Overall, I highly recommend this program to everyone who is trying to build a career in finance
