I'm a medical doctor with no background in accounting and finance. I joined the Boot Camp because I had invested for two years without success and was looking for an answer.

The Boot Camp gave me a deeper understanding of financial statements and helped me gain fundamental analysis skills.

Upon submitting his final research project in the Boot Camp, Dr. Stotz arranged an interview at a leading investment bank in the US, resulting in an internship.

Is this Boot Camp suitable for me?
Is the Boot Camp conducted online?
Yes, the Boot Camp is a 6-week guided course with deadlines to meet and includes additional live sessions (you can access a recording if you can’t attend a specific live session).
Can I attend the Boot Camp if I don’t have a financial background?
Certainly! The course material starts at zero, so even someone without a financial background could understand it. But it moves quickly through the content, so you need to have a strong passion for learning finance and valuation.
Can I attend the Boot Camp if I’m working or studying full time?
On average, you should be able to allocate about 3 hours per day for the Boot Camp. Deadlines are set on a weekly basis, so you will be able to catch up on weekends if you have fallen behind one week.
How advanced are the lessons? Will I be able to keep up?
The lessons move from beginner to advanced quickly. This is where your passion for learning will be critical because the course will quickly become tough. We release new material only after all students have consumed the previous lesson. This means we do not leave less advanced students behind; it also foster's a team spirit.
Could this help me land a job?
You will learn everything that Dr. Stotz has learned from his experience as a head of research and analyst. As a manager, he has seen thousands of job candidates and will teach you what it takes to stand out.
With more than 28,000 followers on LinkedIn, Dr. Stotz is well connected and will assist you in making your LinkedIn profile more attractive to potential employers.
Could this help me to change my career path to work in finance?
Absolutely. We have had many engineers and accountants who wanted to shift to a career in finance. The foundation you will build should be enough to get prospective employers to talk to you about shifting your career to finance.
Could it help me beat the market and become a better investor?
You will be required to manage a model portfolio from the day you start until graduation day. This will raise your understanding of what it takes to manage risk and return. In addition, you will gain a better understanding of what drives markets and the factors that drive the valuation of a business.
Is the Boot Camp all 5 modules of the Valuation Master Class?
In the Boot Camp, you will complete Valuation Master Class Foundation: Finance Made Ridiculously Simple, Module 1, and Module 2. You will also do additional assignments that are relevant to an equity analyst, fund manager, and investment banker. During the Boot Camp, you will write a research report on a company of your choice, learn how to present with confidence, and make a final presentation of your report.
What is the difference between Boot Camp and Foundation?
In Foundation, you study by yourself, watching videos and completing assignments at your convenience. The Boot Camp includes additional assignments to prepare you for a job in finance, and you are mentored by Dr. Stotz and his team throughout the 6-week course. You will also write and present a full company research report. Dr. Stotz will help you find your career path and teach you crucial presentation skills.
Is the content practical and useful in the real world?
All course content is based on Dr. Andrew Stotz's 30 years of teaching and experience working in valuation. You will be valuing companies using the practical tools that helped him become a #1 ranked analyst.
I’ve already attended the Valuation Master Class. Should I join the Boot Camp too?
If you have completed Module 1 or attended the 2-day Live seminar, the Boot Camp may still benefit you. There’ll be some repetition in the lessons, but the additional assignments, the company research report, etc., are not in Module 1/Live. Also, you’ll get further practical experience in Module 2.
If you have completed all five modules of the Valuation Master Class, you have learned most of what is taught in the Boot Camp.
Can this course help me with passing the CFA exam?
The CFA Level I exam is vast, covering many topics ranging from pension fund accounting to political economy. Equity valuation is one topic among many in the CFA Level I exam, which means you will gain shallow knowledge of many topics. The Valuation Master Class Boot Camp goes deep into one topic: Equity valuation. So, attending the Boot Camp will help deepen your understanding in this one area.
Could this help me become a better manager?
This course will help in two ways. First, great managers understand finance. You will gain a deep understanding of finance and valuation. Second, you will understand how analysts and fund managers think about a company they are considering investing in. The result is that you will become a better-equipped manager to engage with the various stock market participants.
Do you have any courses to deepen my knowledge further after the Boot Camp?
It’s not a requirement. But, if you want more practical experience in forecasting and valuation, you can continue with Valuation Master Class Professional, which includes Modules 3-5. By completing professional, you’ll gain expertise in valuing different companies, which could take years to gain at the job.
