In a nutshell, if you want to know what Finance is all about, you are in the right place!
While it might sound like a lot to learn, we are a team of students with numerous years of experience. We know what it means to be faced with a mountain of material to learn. Therefore, our teaching is done in a way we would have liked to be taught (interactively and intuitively).What will you need for this course: virtually nothing except basic Mathematics.
