Now that the exams are over I wanted to finally experience and learn financial modeling on excel. Anybody has any resources that they can share
I dont know. My boss and I have an unwritten contract that I can try to learn as much as VBA coding as possible for the next 5 months. As long as I handle my daily tasks.
Look at corporate finance institute…has an online certification certificate…pretty well done and can complete in a few months at your own pace. also affordable.

I have similar plans. Aside from excel VBA/macro stuff, what coding languages does everyone suggest? R, Python?
+1 as well
FMI Website actually has a designation for this and I have registered for it as well. May be worth your while and it is gaining worldwide acceptance
If you want to pursue your career in Data Science and Machine Learning and want to decide between R and Python, then i would recommend Python because of greater community support.
FAST financial modelling standards There is an exam. If you pass, you get “Level 1 Certified” https://www.fast-standard.org
Corporate finance institute If you pass all the mandatory courses, you get FMVATM certification. https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com
Financial modelling institute This is a newly established institution, which has 3 level of exams. They also give you letters after your name (AFM, CFM, MFM) depending on which level you have passed. https://fminstitute.com/
I am Level 1 Certified FAST financial modeller. But FMVATM modelling approach seems more appealing to me. I plan to pass FMVATM certification during this year.
Why do you want to splurge when you can learn these things online for free from various sites??
Hi, I’d like to pass my FMVA course to someone who needs it. I purchased it in the later half of 2019 and finished some courses while I was working for a Big4 firm but I changed my direction to another field so I don’t get to exploit these great prep materials. Let me know if you need it and we can negotiate the price. Thanks and have a good day. Linh
I know this is an old post but I recently put together an Excel modeling & best practices class on Udemy that I’d like to offer. Use the coupon code FINANCE22 to enroll for free. Thanks and hope you enjoy.

Hi! I can say with full confidence that this is a cool decision.
BIWS and wallstreetprep are both fine. That said, nothing I’ve seen really look like anything I’ve seen from sell side models. Sell side models are usually just income statements, and a revenue build.
