Note: Everything here is my opinion based on first hand experience.
I took this course and it was a complete waste of time and money. They teach you absolutely nothing of value that isn't available via a Google or Wikipedia search. The instructors don't teach you LBO modeling in any meaningful manner. Notice how the website doesn't give you bios of any of the instructors? Hmm, I wonder why?
The company is owned by Matthew Murray, who was an analyst at Rodman & Renshaw and was fired by them. He hasn't worked on The Street since then. This company now is his main source of income. He is also the main instructor for the course. He is a nasty person personally and will give you practically no help in landing a legitimate job or internship. He will pressure you hard to work for him as an unpaid itern for his pese.com website upon completing the course.
The course serves mainly as a tool for Matthew Murray to recruit free "interns" for the website called private equity stock exchange he is building out now. You will basically be debugging this website as your "internship". They have very little to no pull with legitimate private equity firms. Don't expect a realistic chance of landing a job or internship with those top shops after completing this joke of a course.
It is almost criminal that he gets away with charging $1000 to desperate people looking to break into legit PE shops like KKR and Blackstone, etc.in short, SAVE YOUR MONEY!
Seriously, the "instruction" if it could be called that was a complete joke. Everything that was "taught" could be learned by simple wikipedia searches or on investopedia. There is no depth or substance like you would see at a course taught at a university or extension school.
