Course Description

There's a reason this course is featured in the Wharton Online Private Equity Certificate Program, Wall Street Prep, and FTI Consulting Training: it's the real deal.

Starting with a real phone call from our Managing Partner, we are tasked with building an LBO Model (brick-by-brick) to help determine if the deal is financeable and calculate investor returns.

With nearly 13 hours of content, this course will separate you from the pack: it's a rigorous FP&A and Private Equity education in one.
