Program Introduction
The program is divided into eight courses that take you through the entire process of financial analysis step-by-step. These courses follow two parallel tracks: one for understanding the theory, set-up and computation, and two, for learning how to use Excel to do the analysis. You will receive a set of Excel spreadsheets, including worksheets and solutions. You will learn how to use Excel to evaluate a real-world case study and how to adapt the Excel spreadsheets to your own investments.
