The case studies on European market trends helped me sharpen my skills in building econometric models, and the weekly live Q&A sessions were super useful for clearing up doubts. I walked away with practical knowledge of using Excel’s data‑analysis toolpak for time‑series forecasting, which I've already applied to a personal investment portfolio. The course content was relevant and the resources were well‑structured, making the whole experience pleasant and rewarding.
