“Great overview of modeling
This is the perfect course for someone who wants to know modeling, but doesn't know where to start. Paul does a great job creating a "map" of the world of financial modeling. That ranges from the "why" to "here's how to start." Some great Excel templates here too!”

“The course was short, focused, and VERY useful for even a seasoned modeler. It's funny how often we may know what to do but actually doing it is the hard part. Reviewing Paul's 10 Design Principles BEFORE you begin to develop any model, will start you thinking off on the right track for modeling success. “
