Course Description
The program is designed to be completed in approximately two months; therefore, you will need to commit a considerable amount of that time on analysis and writing tasks PRIOR to the classroom setting. There is one optional pre-class writing assignment due before the second webinar. It is important to understand you’ll need to spend a minimum of 175 to 250 hours to successfully complete this program. And during the five-and-a-half day on-site session, expect to work on your reports after the 7-hour days spent on-site with the facilitators. Ten to 12 hours a day that week will not be unusual.
Because of the nature of this program, NO REFUNDS or TIME EXTENSIONS will be granted.

Optional Pre-Class Writing Assignment
This is an optional pre-class writing assignment.
However, do not be confused as a Level C Fundamental Market Analysis (FMA) is required for the Capstone final report submission.
The Fundamental Market Analysis section should contain all analysis, including appropriate charts, along with the corresponding narrative explanation and conclusions within all six steps of the process. If the Fundamental market analysis pre-class assignment is submitted for feedback, it should be submitted by noon Central Time (CT) at least one week prior to the second webinar, via the approved online software.
We highly encourage participants to submit the optional FMA pre-class assignment, as those who do, historically, are much better prepared when submitting a completed final report.
Equipment:
- A financial calculator is required. The accepted model used in the program is the HP-12C. AI education programs that require a financial calculator are developed with HP-12C keystrokes; using this model is highly recommended.
- You must be familiar with calculator operation when the program begins. Do not enroll expecting to be taught how to use a financial calculator.
