"The training program was very useful and beneficial. It was well presented and very detailed. The data is very useful to my job, as a Premier Account Executive. It gave me knowledge on the various types of Investments and the various ways in which money can be invested. I think having software such as this should be kept as a refresher for persons in the Offshore sector." - C.H. Barclays

"I found it very useful. At first I thought it was going to be very general, but found that FC enlightened me on exactly what makes a business run. I reviewed and reviewed and reviewed, and was very pleased with it." - D.O. Business Development Bank of Canada

"Excellent as far as meeting its stated objectives. Excellent re meeting my expectation. Effectiveness of printed materials: excellent; effectiveness of computer-based activities: excellent. The simplicity of the examples and definitions of the concepts and terms were the most valuable part of the course - and the many examples that were presented which assisted in my understanding of the materials. Overall course ratings: excellent."
- S.G. Citibank

"Helped me tremendously. Easy
to follow - would definitely recommend."
- C.W. Deutsche Financial

"Actually I liked it a lot. We'd had another program just prior to FC covering Taxes and I found it very difficult. The emphasis was on maneuvering from screen to screen and the layout was very confusing and distracting. I couldn't concentrate on the subject. Financial Competence was very easy and it just flowed. You understood how to go from screen to screen in the first lesson and could then understand the material. It was just wonderful - being able to focus on the material is what I liked - you certainly achieved knowledge transfer."
- M.H. Ernst & Young

"Thought it was very helpful - especially if you are someone trying to get and understand the basics of financial analysis. For me, it was more of a refresher but I liked the way I could match up the different financial statements."
- C.S. IBM Global Financing

"Helped me know the basics and expand further than that. I work with people who handle stocks & bonds & it helped me have a far greater knowledge than before I did the course. Would help anyone who didn't know basics."
- K.L. JP Morgan Chase

"This is a very good course, especially for someone with little or no exposure to financial reports. Because I have had this exposure, the first part of the course was a refresher, but there's nothing wrong with that! What I really benefited from later in the course was the explanation of how the statements link together. I strongly recommend the course for anyone not familiar with corporate finance and as a review for those who do."
- E.M. John Deere Credit

" I enjoyed it very much -it was very helpful. I hadn't done any accounting courses for 3 or 4 years, so FC helped familiarize me with all the terms - go through the statements , see how they fit together, etc. "
- J.A. Norwest Bank

"I liked it a lot - it was very visual. I had zero experience and it really helped me see and do; I liked it a lot. I would recommend it to anyone."
- A.K. Old Kent Bank

"FC helped me a lot. I
learned the terminology & interpretations of the banking world. I'm in the middle of the IB course right now and it is excellent."
- K.V. PNC Bank

"PNC Bank has provided copies of this software. The purpose of submitting this is to evaluate the software and certification process of Financial Competence for use by a broader range of individuals. The course was EXCELLENT in my opinion!"
- J.B. PNC Bank

"It was pretty good - a rehash of college, which I graduated from in May - but I could have saved myself $20,000.00 of college tuition if I had had these computer programs."
- R.E. T.Rowe Price

"Thought both Financial Competence and Investment Competence were VERY well done - as a general comment. We have our own CBT here at T.Rowe Price, and there were a couple of things about your products that struck me. There was a good balance between simplicity and understanding - it was simple enough for me to understand without being TOO simple, and with the use of the sounds and moving objects, it wasn't too flashy. It achieved that (knowledge transfer and being able to use the data in the real world.)"
- J.S. T.Rowe Price

"Found it very useful. I am a
financial analyst in commercial lending here at US Bank and deal with screwed up financial statements all the time and try to make sense out of them. Some people go to college for years to learn this stuff - I found it very useful."
- J.W. US Bank

"As I was taking the course, I was also working on the Canadian Securities Course - to learn about selling stocks and bonds - so used IC as my final review for facts and figures and passed the exam."
- J.D. Van City Credit Union

"Excellent program. I've had finance training and this was a refresher, but given my financial background, this presentation is really excellent."
- J.F. Wells Fargo Bank
