Course is an excellent opportunity for experience modelers to polish their skills and work with a recognized layout, sequence, and framework. I have been preparing and presenting Financial Models since 2015 and I was not expecting to learn this much from the course. Mr. Abdul Shakoor is an excellent teacher, having a very engaging and thought-provoking teaching methodology.
