What is the Valuation Master Class Boot Camp
The Valuation Master Class Boot Camp is created to equip you with the skills required to work as an investment banker, asset manager, equity analyst, or become a value investor
-
It’s tough to know where to start your career in finance;
let Dr. Stotz mentor you to land your dream job
It’s hard to find a teacher and mentor who can truly help advance your career. Dr. Stotz has taught and mentored thousands of students and will personally mentor you in the Valuation Master Class Boot Camp. He will help you get focused on the career path in finance that is right for you. Importantly, once you have completed the course, Dr. Stotz will promote you through his network of finance professionals to help you secure your finance internship or dream job.
-
It’s challenging to develop in-demand industry skills;
learn the exact skills that helped Dr. Stotz become a #1 analyst
Universities teach finance theory, not the skills needed to be successful at a job in finance. Self-study can be confusing, time-consuming, and mainly brings you book knowledge. Even the knowledge you gain from passing the CFA Level 1 exam does not give you skills you can immediately apply. In the Valuation Master Class Boot Camp, you will learn the valuation frameworks, tools, and techniques Dr. Stotz used to become a No. 1 analyst. You will finish with valuable skills you can apply at your job to value real-world companies.
-
It’s hard to get a finance job without real-world experience;
gain that experience through valuing actual companies
In the Valuation Master Class Boot Camp, you will gain the experience needed to become a successful investment banker, asset manager, or equity analyst. You will gain this experience through daily analysis of stocks and the markets. You get to apply the financial analysis you learn to actual companies and complete a full valuation report. This report is proof you have the real-world experience needed to land that next job.

Who is the Valuation Master Class Boot Camp for?
Ambitious university student
Bomb is a results-driven student who recently got accepted at a top university in the US. Before starting his studies, he wanted to establish a network of like-minded people and gain practical experience.
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.
Frustrated trader
Tong started as a day trader and mainly analyzed price charts when making investment decisions. After many ups and downs, he realized that he was not consistently profitable with his daily trades. At which time, he decided to shift his focus to understand the companies he invests in deeply.
The Valuation Master Class Boot Camp helped him to analyze the company’s financials and estimate its value. Now, he combines fundamental analysis with price charts and is more consistently profitable.
Business grad entering finance
Chris’s dream is to become a fund manager. He successfully passed the CFA level I and his bachelor’s degree in business. He was struggling to find ways to apply his theoretical knowledge to real-world projects.
After valuing actual companies and writing a complete equity research report in the Valuation Master Class Boot Camp, he is well-equipped to kick off his career in finance. Upon completion, Dr. Stotz helped him to land an internship at a local asset management company.
Shifting career to finance
Varuth comes from a non-finance background but wants to shift his career into the finance industry. During the Valuation Master Class Boot Camp, he learned how to read and analyze financial statements from scratch.

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.
