Training The Street

What it is

Training The Street describes itself as "a global finance and business training provider passionate about teaching finance fundamentals and advanced topics," with a stated vision "to inspire the next generation of professionals to change the world." It teaches the practical skills of finance jobs, above all financial modeling, Excel, valuation and accounting, to two audiences: individuals preparing for or moving up in a finance career, and firms that need new hires ready to work.

The homepage frames the whole offer around getting people "desk-ready," saying the company delivers "practical, real-world-focused instruction that closes the gap between classroom learning and on-the-job performance." It also says it trains 50,000+ students each year. Learning comes in three formats, laid out on the homepage under "How We Teach": self-study online courses, public courses taught live by instructors, and corporate training built for a single firm.

Self-study courses

The self-study catalog is organized by career stage and role. The Fundamentals section starts with Foundations, which aims to "Build a understanding of the financial concepts and skills needed to succeed in internships and beyond," and Advanced, which aims to "Develop the high-level financial modeling skills needed to secure and excel in full-time Financial roles." A Foundations + Advanced bundle is marked most popular, described as everything needed to go from a first internship to a full-time role, and the site banner names it product of the month, with 20% off through a discount code.

Interview prep has two courses, a Finance Interview Prep Course and Interview Prep Essentials, covering technical and behavioral questions. Role Prep offers tracks for investment banking, private equity, equity research, the bond market, asset management, global markets and hedge funds, FP&A, and restructuring. Industry-specific courses cover real estate, software and tech, oil and gas, and banking and FIG. A productivity strand teaches Mastering Excel, The Power of PowerPoint, Excel Modeling Challenges, Python 1: Core Data Analysis and Python 2: Data Visualization, and the company also sells TTS Turbo Macros, its own Excel tool. Learners reach their purchases through a My Courses area in their account.

Public courses

The public courses are live, instructor-led classes on a published calendar. The homepage describes them as "Ideal for those seeking structured learning from award-winning experts," and the course menu pitches them to employers as turnkey courses that make new, lateral and off-cycle hires desk-ready. The list includes Core Comprehensive, Applied Excel, Financial Statement Analysis and Accounting, Private Equity Transition, Fast Track: Financial Modeling, Financial Modeling and Valuation with AI, Enhanced Core, the Undergraduate: Wall Street Bootcamp, Principles of Capital Markets, Evening Essentials, a Data Science Bootcamp, Private Company Analysis, Software Industry Analysis & Financial Modeling, and Real Estate Fundamentals.

Sessions run both online and in person. The upcoming courses on the homepage included virtual classes on Chicago time (CDT) alongside in-person runs of Core Comprehensive in Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi and Applied Excel in London.

SprinTTS and AI courses

SprinTTS is a newer short format. The homepage calls it "Short-form virtual sessions that go straight to the heart of the subject," built to fit into a workday, with one subject per session, live and instructor-led, and the same instructors as the longer programs. It lists nine sessions across modeling, AI and more, among them Business Case Modeling, Data Center Development: Modeling and Forecasting, Financial Restructuring, LBO Exits and Data Storytelling.

AI gets its own group of courses: AI for Finance Professionals using Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, each with an advanced follow-up. The corporate menu adds Copilot for Finance and AI for Finance programs for teams.

Corporate training and advisory

For firms, the company "creates customized training programs that deliver the right content at the right time to maximize talent development." The corporate menu covers Excel training, continuing development, private equity, global markets, financial statement analysis, data science and analytics, and professional skills training.

The Program Advisory Services page says "Many of our institutional clients depend on us for training advisory services and curriculum development." The company works with the client to define the training population's requirements and build a program around stated goals. It offers to help design entry-level programs or continued development curriculum, and to run campus workshops "that help your recruits stand out from the crowd."

A free ebook on Excel training for consulting firms shows what a corporate program covers. A sample topic list for management consultants runs from Excel settings, shortcuts and formula construction, through text functions for cleaning client data, lookup functions such as VLOOKUP and XLOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH, SUMIFS and pivot tables, to an introduction to VBA and recording macros. Additional topics include data storytelling, automation using VBA, Python for data analysis and Google Sheets. The page says a leading strategy house retained the company to build a new Excel program, and quotes an Excel student: "I learned more in 1.5 days than my entire Excel career."

Instructors and reviews

The homepage introduces the teaching team under the line "Our Instructors Have Been There... Done That." The About menu also links to an instructor development page.

Reviews on the homepage name the course and the reviewer's role. On Core Comprehensive, an acting director praised the instructor's ability to "convey complex information in an easily understood manner" and said she was "presenting it in a practical way that makes it stick." A private equity intern on Fast Track: Financial Modeling wrote that the instructor "does a great job explaining everything and stops to help anyone who needs it." An investment banking summer analyst on the Undergraduate Wall Street Bootcamp wrote: "Every concept was built on previous topics quite well." A chief operating officer and a senior financial analyst left short reviews on the Copilot and software modeling courses.

Free resources and pricing

The resources menu includes learning resources, Excel shortcuts, news and blogs, a free learning series, a newsletter, and an LSEG Finance Essentials Certification. The ebooks cover how training programs help with the changing future of work, Excel training for consulting firms, a 2025 financial training outlook, and an academic guide to investment banking recruiting.

The homepage lists no course prices. Corporate and advisory work starts with a contact form.

Who it suits

Training The Street fits students and early-career analysts who want the modeling and Excel skills a finance desk expects, in a clear order from Foundations to Advanced and on to interview prep and role-specific tracks. People already in the job can pick a single course, an AI tool course or a short SprinTTS session. Firms get public courses for new and lateral hires, custom programs, and advisory help with campus recruiting and continuing development.

The main caveat is budgeting: prices are not on the homepage, so you will need to open each course page or contact the company.
