"The instructor was sensitive and responsive to the needs of participants... he was very friendly, knowledgeable and patient. This course was excellent - I got exactly what I needed - how to set up spreadsheets and use Excel efficiently."
- World Bank/IFC Advisor
"This session was awesome - I learned so much not only about Excel, but about financial modeling. The Vair team was highly knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions."
- Associate, Major European Investment Bank

- Director, Project Finance Team
"They started at a basic level and built quickly. I was amazed how much I learned in a short period The instructor was entertaining, and kept it fun the entire time."
- Analyst, NYC-based Investment Bank
"I particularly enjoyed the commercial discussions. Making the link between the model and the real world is an important skill for all the members of our team, from the Directors to the Analysts."
- Director, Project Finance Team
"The course was great and well presented. The instructor made the sessions understandable, and sharing his experience in real life projects really helped. Having the working sheets done ahead of time and us just play with them was of great help. I would definitely recommend this seminar."
- Vice President, South American Power Company
"I do not work in finance and accounting, but the class drew many of the lessons that I learned from finance and accounting together. The class not only gave me practice with creating balancing financial statements in Excel, but also the teacher constantly stepped back to keep the big picture (the commercial discussions) in mind. Seeing the numbers balance and interact with one another was a great way to re-enforce my understanding of finance and accounting. The University should include more modeling as a part of finance and accounting instruction."
- MBA Student
"The Excel tips were very valuable. I am pretty knowledgeable about Excel, but I feel even more productive after having this class."
- Analyst, Oil and Gas, Middle East
