Learner Reviews

Great course where I learnt some incredibly useful techniques for dynamic modeling
I'd highly recommend even for some "advanced users". The section on creating dynamic charts and using indirect was amazing.

Michael Kelly

Great practical experience
Every exercise we practice is easy to practice throughout all courses in CFI, that makes me keep practicing and improving my financial knowledge.

Eduardo Villordo Vinhas


I believe working with the advance formulas and the automation was great. I would like more examples to use these with Cap IQ. I use Cap IQ all the time at work.
