This course has upped my speed in excel considerably; It's a must-take for anyone entering PE. I do think I've gotten much more out of it after having been in my role for a few months than had I taken it before my start date.

Daniel and Angela did a great job. I think this course was a good refresher. That being said unsure if it is worth the cost for most private equity professionals as building a 3 statement model is a prerequisite to passing an interview. Excel refresher was helpful. A more in depth focused beyond a boiler plate 3 statement model would be more helpful. Would recommend cutting out a lot of the refresher stuff or giving it ahead for review then going over the following: Multiple add on acquisitions to a platform prior to exit monthly / quarterly stub models to show acquisitions closing at different times earn out accounting acquisition closing funds flows returns waterfalls at a fund level for an exit Different ways to estimate true cash flow with unreliable private market financial reporting modular models for asset vs. stock purchases Potentially include more on: debt covenants and debt process negotiations nuances of purchase agreement Additionally, having the venue close at 5pm limited some of the instruction and collaboration. Maybe find a room for after hour studying. Thanks for the course. Enjoyed my time here. Best, Joe josephbns@gmail.com

Bruno was great - very engaging, had lots of relatable real-life experience and was able to debate and discuss topics in detail. Covered the course curriculum but also was flexible and able to answer tangential questions

The course content and materials were great but Bruno was particularly impressive. It's great having an instructor that has banking / consulting / investing experience, and "done the job". We appreciated Bruno being flexible to accommodate the specific learning needs of the group.

Felix is an awesome instructor and is one of the most helpful financial teachers I've ever had. He made everthing down to earth and easy to learn coming from a background with absolutely zero finance (I was a Chinese major at a liberal arts college). One of the smartest people I have ever encountered. Thanks Felix!!

Felix provided a great learning environment and taught me more than I expected during the eight day training course. I really appreciated his willingness to explain complicated concepts and his patience with the class. It is obvious he has a great understanding of all the material and enjoys teaching. Couldn't recommend him more!

Felix is amazing!!! AMT/TTS continues their track record of incredibly friendly, encouraging, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic instructors. He is a wizard at all things accounting and valuation, and has a ton of tid bits and stories to keep us engaged as well as to help conceptualize some of the trickier concept. Really thankful for his time, wisdom, and most of all, his patience with us. Thank you Felix!
