Its all about application. I was never interested in math because i never saw any useful application.This course solves that problem

Fervent courses always simplify concepts in a way that you can understand their fundamentals

Hamish
It is reasonable, but rather too slow paced. I would prefer a broader syllabus

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nobin Pradhan
It has been an extremely rewarding journey while learning this course. Full of value addition is how I would describe the course. Despite being a Chartered Accountant of 36 years of experience, those formulas of Financial Management would intimidate me, scare me actually. I always questioned myself that without understanding those formulas, am I a complete Financial Management pro? This course handheld me and took me to the shore of understanding from ignorance. Vash, the instructor actually anticipates all your doubts which cross your mind while learning the course and clears them up in the lessons. I would urge Vash to add more exercises. Finally, please add more courses linked to finance– perhaps business arithmetic?

First course and I already feel more confidant. Bravo!

Concepts are explained clear and concise, equations are no longer frightening.

Jonathan Smith
The course is easy to comprehend. A breath of fresh air compared to the dull explanations from the horrible teachers I’ve had in the past. My confidence in dealing with numbers or any type of math has definitely grown!

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice course; it was exactly what was advertised which is refreshing. Speaking of refreshing, the content is perfect not only for beginners, but also for people like myself who use these formulas once in a while but always need a refresher before doing so. The breakdowns in sections 5 and 6 were very thorough and I now have a better grasp of how the formulas actually work.
