"I highly recommend these courses" - Jordan R.

I recently completed Auto FS 101 – Basic Intro to Automotive Financial Statements and Auto FS 201 – How to Read an Automotive Financial Statement, and found them to be incredibly valuable. The course material was in-depth yet delivered within a reasonable timeframe, making it easy to stay engaged and absorb the content.
 
Each section was thoughtfully broken down into digestible chapters, with quizzes at the end of each module to reinforce key concepts. The host was professional, enthusiastic, and demonstrated a thorough understanding of both the subject matter and the automotive industry as a whole.
 
Auto FS 101 laid a strong foundation that made it easier to dive deeper into 201. Whether you're brand new to automotive financial statements or already have experience, there's something in these courses for everyone.
 
I’ve walked away with a much better understanding of how automotive financial statements are structured, including the layout and components of the Income Statement and Balance Sheet. More importantly, I now see how this information can be used to make more informed, timely, and actionable business decisions.
 
I highly recommend these courses to anyone looking to gain a stronger understanding of financial statements in the automotive space.
