Kindly allow users to see the incorrect answers for all exams, In my comparable analysis courses, there have been no indicators for what answers were incorrect. This makes it difficult to identify the area I need to focus on

Melody Kalondu

Excellent course with a complete view of relative valuation

Excellent well rounded training that show you the essentials of the two methods used for relative valuation. It is a must to take if you want to become knowledgeable in this field of finance. It is tremendously helpful to understand the use and interpretation of the (EV) Enterprise Value in the calculation of relative valuation.

Duncan McKeen - Great Tutor

Very encouraging course

Eduardo Esteban Velasco Montenegro

Great introductory course to learning Comps and Precedents analysis

Rupert Maven

Great introduction to relative valuation

Simple, to the point, and practical. Like all other courses in this platform, this one delivers great explanations on timing, debt and cash inclusions, and actual practice. I wonder why no other ratios were used besides EV/EBIDTA, and my guess is they are included in the more advanced comparable valuation course? Great course in total.

Loved how the course was presented, including the knowledge presented by the instructor and the hands-on approach. The most important aspect that I enjoyed most was the tick boxes, which gave me additional clues that I am doing things correctly.
