Financial Analysis Training That Actually Works

Build practical skills for investment research and portfolio management

We've spent years refining what investment professionals actually need. Our program strips away theory that doesn't translate and focuses on the skills you'll use weekly—maybe daily—in your work.

Learning That Adapts to Your Schedule

Some people absorb information better through video demonstrations. Others prefer working through case studies at their own pace. A few want live interaction where they can ask questions as they arise.

We don't force everyone through the same format. Our September 2025 cohort offers three distinct paths through the material—each covering identical content, just structured differently. You choose what fits your learning style and weekly availability.

And the support system stays constant regardless of format. You'll have access to instructors, peer discussion groups, and our resource library throughout your learning journey.

Choose Your Learning Format

Self-Paced Video

Work through structured modules on your own timeline. Access recordings, transcripts, and downloadable resources anytime. Best for those with unpredictable schedules.

Workshop Series

Join bi-weekly Saturday sessions where we work through real portfolio scenarios together. Live Q&A and immediate feedback. Perfect for collaborative learners.

Hybrid Approach

Combine video lessons with monthly live sessions. Review material at your pace, then apply it during structured workshops. Most popular option among working professionals.
