How the Certification Works
What Our Students Say
The course is set up to demonstrate how to switch from annual to monthly models within the framework we've already been familiarized with. It also includes a practical demonstration of the bottom-up forecasting approach (as opposed to incremental in previous courses), and is a good opportunity to once again practice filling in a 3-statement model under Tim's tutelage. Excellent course overall!
