City Investment Training Bewertungen 

City Investment Training made the biggest difference to my IB recruiting by sharpening my technical financial modelling + valuation skills (3 statements, DCF, comps, EV vs equity value) and teaching me how to approach tests/interviews with structure.

The mock interviews with Sameer were the most valuable part, direct feedback that fixed my delivery fast.

The AI tools/workflows also helped me build M&A/valuation materials and prep more efficiently without sounding scripted. Result: I secured an internship at HSBC.

completed City Investment Training’s 8-week program in London (Sameer Merchant, ex-Goldman Sachs) and it genuinely gave me the foundations and confidence I needed for recruiting. The training is very practical: I built financial models from scratch (including LVMH and Alphabet), worked through DCF + trading/transaction comps, and learned how to structure M&A and LBO analysis, pitchbooks, term sheets and equity research deliverables. Since completing the program, I’ve secured a 3-month Private Equity internship in London starting in January, and I’m interviewing for off-cycle analyst roles as well. If you want a structured, high-intensity programme that actually prepares you for real processes, I highly recommend it.

Insight from an ex-investment banking professional, would highly recommend for any students looking to go into the world of high finance

If you want to break into investment banking this is the place to do it. The amount of knowledge you will get is 100% applicable to the real world. The quality of the instructor, the real life scenarios and cases are super practical and useful. It will help your technical and knowledge skills.

By doing the course, you will also have training on interviews, networking, and presentation skills. Which are all relevant and applicable to any industry.

I definitely recommend it, specially if you are in University or just finished it.

City Investment Training has been an outstanding experience — highly technical, practical, and directly relevant to real-world finance. What I liked most is that everything taught is immediately applied to real examples and case studies, from integrating financial statements to valuing companies and analysing business pitches. This approach makes complex concepts like Deferred Tax Assets/Liabilities or Total Addressable Market feel clear and actionable.

Alongside the technical training, the programme was extremely helpful for interview preparation and CV building. It gave me a strong understanding of the technical questions often asked in assessment centres and provided clear guidance on how to present my skills and experiences in a way that resonates with recruiters.

I really enjoyed the programme. The teaching was excellent and very helpful, especially the mock interviews. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone aspiring to break into investment banking.

Class valuable opportunity, especially the free courses and weekend ones. Definitely learnt something new and if you have doubts, go ahead and try the free ones out for yourself.
