AMT Training Reviews

Pros: - Serge and the TAs are very well knowledgeable. Serge also articulates very well what he explains and is able to entertain the class in a nice and pleasant way > very good quality of teaching - The AMT website works well and it's intuitive - Lots of materials to exercise Cons: - We could dig deeper in the topics. I would personally like to see real-world modelling examples and exercise (which we, very soon, are all going to deal with). > overall, it should all be more difficult and closer to real life

It is good enough for us to understand the fundamentals of accounting, modeling, valuation, and how we work in the office.

Good, but I want more detailed answer of quiz.

I would appriciate it if you let gme know the detail schedule of each day before the training starts, like when we can take break or not etc.

I think the trainer is fantastic, everything he explains he tries to give examples. It's clear that he has a great knowledge and he is good at teaching and delivering clear explanation However, when it comes to the content, I would like to study more advanced stuff. Most of the people have finance or business backgrounds and have already covered these materials. I have been working in the firm for 1 year and I feel that more complex materials would prepare as better for the desk A good idea would be to split us in groups so that more knowledgeable people could cover more complex contents

course and trainer very good - course material/slides are not good for self study at home

Pros 1. Again, really really knowledgeable trainers 2. Comprehensive details Cons 1. Would appreciate if the lecture could follow through the slides as opposed to typing them out on excel - this makes it messy and hard to follow 2. More for UBS - As mentioned before, I really don't understand why this can't be virtual. Would appreciate if the firm could see it from the participants' views as opposed to from the bank's views. Need to follow the trends of the era. 3. I understand the course structure is picked from UBS and AMT simply carries them out. Going through all the nitty gritties will not stick to our memories and honestly our best learning is on-the-job. As someone who much prefers OTJ training, I find it unintuitive that we have to cram all the small details only to forget them 1 year from now.

Stephen has great technical knowledge and knows his stuff. However, his teaching style is somehow unstructured as we keep switching from computing parts of a model, getting other theoretical know-how, having specific questions and then back to the model and so forth. Would be highly appreciated if we could just compute a model / do practical work, get all the additional information at once and then have questions in the end. Constant switching between technical / practical work, theory and questions is fairly exhausting and confusing.

I think the speed it´s too low and it would be nice if we could do more group assigments so the course is more interesting.

Trainer is awesome - love his style and humor
