The first part of the course focused more on the fundamentals, which enabled me to consolidate my grounding and acquire some useful additional knowledge. The second part was particularly enriching, with real new contributions in relation to my level in finance. The course was in line with my expectations.

The training materials were very well adapted and formatted to the needs of the participants. It would be possible to make the materials even more dynamic and participative by using games to classify certain financial headings in the right boxes.

It's a course packed with documentation and explanations. The facilitator's ability to adapt the course [just after the 'tour de table' on Day 1] to the levels and expectations of the participants is a real plus. The referral to videos and websites that allow you to delve deeper into certain subjects is a positive point.
