How We Teach Differently

Most investment courses throw theory at you and hope it sticks. We start with real company financials from day one. You'll work with actual annual reports, analyze genuine balance sheets, and practice the same methods professional analysts use.

Each week builds on the last. We don't rush through concepts. Instead, we give you time to practice each skill until it becomes second nature. And when you struggle with something (everyone does), your instructor works with you directly to figure out what's missing.

  • Case-based learning using real Canadian and international companies
  • Small cohorts with maximum 18 students per instructor
  • Weekly feedback on your analysis and investment thesis development
  • Access to financial databases used by professional analysts
  • Portfolio simulation where you track and defend your investment choices

The program runs for 24 weeks starting September 2025. You'll spend about 10-12 hours weekly on coursework, case studies, and analysis. By the end, you'll have a portfolio of investment analyses you can actually show people.
