I look forward to continue my education with these fine people that are making the journey easier for me.

Thank you support team for your outstanding contributions and advice.

I've been having a wonderful experience with GOAT Academy. The instructors are experienced traders who generously share not only their knowledge but also their practical experience and different approaches to the markets. The classes are engaging, informative, and focused on developing the skills and critical thinking needed to make independent investment decisions. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on understanding the reasoning behind trading strategies rather than simply following rules. It's been an excellent learning experience, and I highly recommend it!

I have been very impressed with everyone I have talked with and the content of the course. They have the process well organized and yet customize it to the needs of each student. I would highly recommend it.

I attended Live Training… SCAMMER

I attended 2+ hour Live Training webinar. Felix excels at selling his product and underperforms very badly at providing useful information. My biggest regret is not reading the negative Trustpilot reviews before wasting a large chunk of my time. One of many RED FLAGS was discovering, after reading reviews, that it is impossible to obtain the promised refund;

Be in charge of your investing.

Live learning. Dive right in immediately or take it at a slower pace with recorded sessions. The instructors are all real world, successful professionals with years and even decades of experience. Everyone I've interacted with over the months has been exceedingly patient with those who have little to no experience with the stock market, while offering insight and challenge to those who are more advanced. It's been wonderful learning from these seasoned traders from all over the world. It's a relaxed multicultural environment where we the students get to participate, skipping the traditional "read this", "write that" of formal schooling. You are in charge of what you learn and how fast. I would recommend the Goat Academy to anyone serious about doing their own investing, even if you have a professional overseeing your investments (as everyone really should). What you can learn will put you head and shoulders above the average retail investor.

I have enjoyed learning the basics of trading and investing. The weekly 1-1 coach calls are particularly useful to talk openly about what you see ( or don’t see) in the charts and can give useful insights to overall strategy. Live and recorded group calls are great and I learn something each time I’m on a call. Thanks

1st Class Course

I have been investing for the last five years making gains and a lot of losses. I have never been taught how to read the markets, this course is teaching me that and how to use tools and resources that come with this course. The instructors are the most inspiring and helpful of people.
I would throughly recommend this course to anyone investing.

These guys are completely humble and understated regarding the level of talent, experience and the skill set within their coaching team. I've been in 6 months and tried to meet as many as possible and each time I'm slightly stunned at the qualifications, the experience and the talent I'm having a conversation wtih. Awesome people.

Be prepared to dedicate at least 5-6 hours a week and have a flexible schedule to accommodate cancelled webinars and calls

The Goat academy has improved its website and content however when I joined in 2025 it was disorganized with empty categories, no syllabus to follow, cancelled calls, disparate teachers who were not consistent in the program teaching and many cancelled webinars. With so much material to cover, after scheduling time for calls and webinars, it became discouraging to set aside time for them to not follow through.
I believe that has improved although I would caution anyone joining this program to promptly attempt the requirements to cancel to determine if the GOAT Academy will provide the alleged offerings in order to cancel for a refund, if you do encounter such issues.
It would be better for the GOAT academy to assign a consistent mentor or two to students rather than only being able to attend the limited calls with whoever may be available, spending half the time getting them up to speed on your situation and questions.
Felix's Youtube videos are quite good and I believe he intends for the program to be what he represents it to be, yet for me, it fell far short.
Again, if you do invest in this program, be prepared to immediately follow the syllabus that has finally been prepared to determine if this program actually meets your expectations.
Also, this is not for "newbies". You need a foundational knowledge of the stock market, how to read technical charts and financial statements, an established brokerage account that you understand thoroughly how to navigate. You must also be prepared to invest at MINIMUM 5-6 hours a week initially to this program and to attend webinars whenever they're offered, some cancelled at the last minute and calls whenver they are available, some also cancellled at the last minute, so you MUST have a flexible schedule.
Unfortunately, the GOAT academy didn't want negative feedback posted so they were slow to make obvious improvements.
I believe Felix and the core of his team are committed to offering a substantive program although as the actual work to support this program is executed it was far from his representations of what it would be.

Awesome course!

As a total newbie, the amount to learn in the course can be a little overwhelming at times but it is so worth it! I cannot fault a thing. The material is excellent. The support is excellent. I am so grateful to have this opportunity. Just be aware that if you are from Australia the time difference can make it a little more challenging. Classes are usually during our sleeping hours but there are recordings of every session.

The Joy of learning at the Prehn Institute

The course content from Felix directly in the form of videos is the biggest help.
The coaching I have received from Guillermo on how to evaluate and pick stocks has been outstanding. I have also been on other group coaching calls where what I learned from Guillermo contributed greatly to having the confidence to invest in the stock market.
My life is not exactly perfect and the adjustments made by Guillermo in coaching me has been more than appreciated by me as I have gone through this course.
The assistance I have received from my customer success manager Vanda Bako has been invaluable especially since I came in entirely green in the investing field. Her recommendation on how to methodically proceed has been extremely helpful!!

One of my best life decisions!

Becoming investor educated by the Prehn Institute is 100% one of my best life decisions. Initially, as a newbie to the stock market and investing, it was truly like drinking out of a firehose to take in the multiple layers of information provided by the Prehn Team. But thanks to Felix's commitment to continuous program improvement, the extraordinary coaches, exceptional instructional materials, and always-there tech support and student guidance, it's all coming together in my gray matter. Plus, the Team are excellent human beings and it's inspiring as well as a bunch of fun working with them to become market smart.

It’s like on-the- job training

When I started my first job after graduating from college with an engineering degree, it quickly became apparent that I really didn’t know squat about the actual practice of engineering. Theory can only take you so far. I assume the same is true with a finance degree. What is taught at GOAT Academy is the practical application of methods and tools used by the professionals, which is what I needed to learn to trade with confidence. The coaches have decades of actual experience and it shows. I fully expect to be trading for the rest of my life using the knowledge & tools gained from this course. Worth every penny!

The program isn't complicated.

Goat Academy by Felix Prehn is a fantastic program for beginner investors who want to make the most of their savings, grow their capital, and earn new income. The coaches are very friendly, helpful, and patient; their willingness to assist people is fantastic. The program isn't complicated, and I highly recommend joining it. It answered many of my questions, and the coaching sessions are very useful and practical.
