I was a bit skeptical about taking an online course, but the Mergers and Acquisitions in Retail course at Stanmore School of Business really exceeded my expectations. The course content was engaging and easy to follow, and I appreciated the flexibility of being able to complete the coursework on my own schedule. One of the most valuable things I learned was how to conduct a thorough financial analysis of a potential acquisition target, which has already proven to be useful in my work as a financial analyst. The course materials were well-organized and relevant, and the instructors were available to answer any questions I had. My only suggestion would be to add more case studies from emerging markets, but overall I was very satisfied with the course.
