I appreciate the amount of information I can immediately put to use in the workplace.
Comprehensive, fast paced, practical application, excellent instructor.
It provided a very good overview of the key financial metrics and indicators used to monitor and assess businesses. I can now relate them to my day-to-day activities, and use them to support my business decisions.
The coverage with respect to analyzing financial reports and evaluating capital expenditure proposals was excellent. This incremental knowledge will be put to very good use.
I found the course interesting and progressive in its approach to explaining a fairly dry topic.
Course material was very organized and easy to read. It will be a good resource in the future. The course leader was very knowledgeable and personable.
I appreciated the practicality and depth of the course. Despite the course being only three days, I feel as though we covered a lot of material, all of which was practically based and relevant.
