"I searched a while to find a course that specifically teaches private equity from a theoretical and practical perspective, and PEI provided both. The online format, supported by 2 days of class time proved innovative and practical, providing an enormous amount of knowledge in a short period of time. We plan to take PEI's fund creation course next. Great course, great instructors, and would highly recommend PEI to anyone who wants to work in private equity, or setup a private equity firm."
- Vincent Orlando, Florida (Jan-09 Class)

"I enjoyed taking the PEI classes as they taught details of private equity that I did not learn in business school. The best part of the class was that I got a private equity internship with the instructor who taught the class."
- Colin Moses, New York (June-08 Class)

"My son and I both took the May '08 class and we highly recommend it! It has been 20+ years since I completed my MBA. The PEI class was an excellent way to refresh my financial skills as well as learn about the private equity industry. My son felt that the class prepared him well to apply for a job in private equity when he graduates from college next year. We felt the instructor did an excellent job of teaching the concepts, "customizing" his lessons to accommodate the variety of backgrounds of the students."
