About this course
This course teaches the core tools of alternative investment analysis using the Excel skills that finance professionals rely on. Aswini Bajaj walks through drawing graphs, deriving formulas and explaining concepts on a whiteboard, with a focus on improving retention through continuous mentoring. The syllabus begins with an introduction and overview before diving into the alternative investment module.
The approach is built around practical Excel work. You learn how to draw technical graphs, derive financial formulas and explain concepts step‑by‑step. Continuous mentoring runs through the lessons, helping you retain the material as you progress from the basics to the alternative investment section.
By the end you can produce basic graphs in Excel, derive key formulas for alternative investment metrics and explain the concepts behind them. The course does not cover portfolio construction, advanced modelling or regulatory frameworks — those topics belong in a dedicated CFA or FRM programme. Learners who need a calculator‑focused alternative should look at the Texas Instruments BA II Financial Calculator course, also free on Udemy.
This is a free, self‑paced course delivered in English. It carries a certificate on completion and has a 3.9 rating from two reviewers. Seven hundred plus learners have enrolled so far.
Free options include the Texas Instruments BA II Financial Calculator course and the Level 1 CFA Exam Prep Bootcamp, both of which carry certificates and have far more ratings.
