Courses are quite expensive

The first few videos loaded and were fine but then the rest were just blank I could watch the first few but none of the others so it wasn t my wifi

400 and really let down by the content quality

Courses are quite expensive Even after buying the same during Black friday it was still on higher side

Inability to access free content as promised

I should preface with the fact that I have let management know via email my views on their course so this review isn t a surprise to them I have gone through the starting chapters and some of the other videos and for this to be marketed as a course for Private Equity is genuinely a bit baffling The course content appears to be produced for someone in university grade or lower not for someone looking to make their way into PE Why is it teaching basics about asset and liability accounts or the primary statements Surely someone who is looking to get into PE already knows this information and wants deeper more rich and complex knowledge that will give them an advantage over their peers I have tried to keep an open mind through this course but it is hugely disappointing that for such a large fee the quality of the content is incredibly basic There are other competitors out there eg CFI who offer a vast array of courses that are of high quality and cheaper than this I have no choice but to finish this entire course begrudgingly given how much I spent on it In response to my feedback the managing director Alastair responded to me directly which was extremely nice of him It isn t often you see the MD of a company replying to feedback so this was a nice touch - he even offered a trial on another product within the FE platform Despite this it has still left a sour taste in my mouth given I paid 400 and I have not come out of this with anymore knowledge than when I came in

There is no any trial based project

When trying to access the free content and after signing up for the free subscription I was not able to access what was promised Even in the limited form promised It was pretty disappointing

Avoid if looking for advanced content

Hi I tried contacting FE a few times to now avail before writing this review The content of their courses is fair for anyone looking to get an entry level position If you have experience in any of the fields you d rather avoid it Unfortunately it is not how they market this product by saying that the content is created by experienced former bankers The content is largely comprised of materials that can be found for free online with enough research I requested for a refund given that their policy is that this is possible within 30 days of purchase As I said before they refuse to reply to my emails which sends a clear message too bad you were looking for advanced content and believed our advertising Hopefully this is useful so other people don t fall for this Thanks Susanna for your reply The support ticket numbers are 3733678 and 6117783

Mediocre

Not sure about their other courses but the Forensic Accounting course was mediocre Not worth the price Should be on Udemy for 10

Wouldnt recommand

Some context I did acourse listed as beginner I have a formaly registerd IQ of 134 so i can learn pretty well My native language is not English I am average with excel Good video s and workouts Knowledge trainers Exellent respons times on questions - Unfriendly trainers - No effort put in at all to help you understand things They will tell you to do x and y to get z But if you dont understand why they wont help you And then in the exam where things are formulated diffrent to try and trap you you will have problem - If you are not an excel guru you gonna have an extra problem - Me and some other students found multiple errors in the excel sheets and in the video s Making it feel rushed That together with the unwillingness to sit down and help people understand makes this feel like a money grab

Disappointing response time

I am writing to share my disappointment with the service as I have asked the Instructors and Online support for a few clarifying points on the quizzes It has now been 4 business days and I have still not received an answer to my questions which really defeats the point of progressing through further modules and learning new content The answer keys for quizzes are also very unhelpful as it does not provide a step-by-step answer but rather a theoretical approach

Not great

Far better resources out there From the course I started the videos were badly organised and did not provide much value Looked like there were a few different instructors and they covered the same things so I m assuming they ve taken a few courses and combined them to make it look like the course is longer and more comprehensive
