Valuation Master Class Foundation
We educate the next generation of world-class financial analysts through practical hands-on experience.
The Valuation Master Class is an online, video-based training program that teaches beginners in finance every step in the valuation process to transform them into valuation experts.
This course will help you become a valuation expert, whether you are new to the field of finance and want practical valuation experience, have already been valuing companies and want to deepen your knowledge, or you have no knowledge of finance and want to switch your career to the world of finance.
The full Valuation Master Class consists of Foundation and Professional. The Foundation helps students build a strong foundation in finance, forecasting, and valuation. In the Valuation Master Class Professional, in addition to advanced topics, students value about 10 companies and all must pass peer review.
The Valuation Master Class Foundation consists of two parts: Finance Made Ridiculously Simple, Valuation Master Class Foundation. This course provides over twenty hours of valuable content and 10 hours of assignment work. Dr. Andrew Stotz, CFA, created the course based on knowledge gained from his journey from valuation novice to #1 analyst and valuation master.
The full Valuation Master Class consists of five modules, which our students say takes about 200 hours to complete. But to get to Module 5, you must progress through the first four modules!
We teach in short blocks of content. Each lesson starts with a learning outcome statement and ends with a summary of what you have learned to help you better retain the material. In this course, your knowledge will build progressively, so you must finish each lesson before moving on to the next.
When you sign up for the course, you will receive the financial model that we use every day to value companies. You will complete assignments in this financial model throughout the course, which assures you are putting your new knowledge into practice.
When you enter the course, you will also get access to the Facebook membership group, which will allow you to contact Dr. Stotz and the team at any time. We encourage all students to reach out with any questions. You get lifetime access to all the course materials so you can always go back and review prior lessons. Also, your lifetime membership allows you to have access to any newly added material.
If you want to build a competitive advantage in company valuation, you want a strong foundation in finance and valuation, and industry-leading methods of equity valuation, the Valuation Master Class is for you! Our typical students fall into one of these categories:

Finance Made Ridiculously Simple
In Finance Made Ridiculously Simple, Dr. Stotz combines over 30 years of teaching and financial analyst experience with his background as a business founder to make finance accessible to everyone. This course will apply what you learn about financial statements to each of the ten major economic sectors, making the content practical for beginners and valuable for experienced finance professionals.
The course teaches the foundations of accounting and financial analysis in a simple and easy-to-follow style. Students will learn to interpret financial statements and apply the most important financial ratios.
The materials and videos are downloadable, along with a downloadable workbook to help you follow along.
Module 1
In Valuation Master Class Module 1, students download the ValueModel, the company valuation tool that Dr. Stotz developed over three decades. You then follow along as Dr. Stotz takes you through the journey of forecasting and valuing one company. Students continue to apply what they learn to the same ten economic sectors covered in FMRS. In addition, you will learn how to predict the most critical items in a balance sheet, with a particular focus on "free money."

Module 2
In Valuation Master Class Module 2, you will apply what you have learned to forecast and value three well-known companies. Dr. Stotz will show you how to use his error reduction tool built into the ValueModel to transform your valuation output from amateur to professional. The module wrap-ups with a lecture on when to use the various valuation methods.
The three companies you will value each come from one of the ten economic sectors you previously studied. You will download ValueModels for each company and create your own forecast and valuation for submission and review. Students will learn how to create each company's revenue structure report developed by Dr. Stotz and avoid common mistakes by using the error checking section of the ValueModel.
You will have access to the ValueModel for all three companies, and you will use the error reduction tool to avoid common mistakes. In addition, you will have access to the revenue structure report and learn how to apply it to any company.

“Andrew’s passion for teaching comes to life as early as the first video on Module 1. This really helped me remain relentless from Module 1 to Module 5, and it elevated my performance as an investment banker and current investment fund analyst. It’s amazing how I can now value any company in the world right away, without any confusion or overthinking.”
“Before the Valuation Master Class, I had no offers, no experience, and almost gave up on my dream to work in finance. Fortunately, Andrew helped me turn that around. Check out my story!”
“Andrew’s commitment to the students is incredibly unique. I’ve never had a teacher who cared this much about my learning and development. The unique nature of this course helped me learn more about finance in a month than 3 years of finance courses in university!”
“The Valuation Master Class changed my life and the way I understand my business. I graduated from this course with the ability to completely understand the finances of my company, which is absolutely crucial when you run a business. Looking back, I realized there’s no better feeling than being taught and getting feedback directly from THE Dr. Andrew Stotz! Learning from him is a total confidence-booster and not many people can say they were mentored by an award-winning analyst and CFA Society president!”
