"During my time as an Investment Banking Analyst Trainee, I learnt how to perform company valuations using several types of valuation techniques. These included the Discounted Cash Flow method, the Comparable Company Analysis method and the Precedent Transactions method. Additionally, at the end of my experience, I did a Investment Recommendation presentation on a chosen company, looking at their financial metrics and market trends to justify an investment decision."

"This experience has been exciting, hands-on, useful and inspiring! The extensive independent and guided learning I've done throughout the Investment Banking programme equipped me with the knowledge necessary to start my journey in the world of Finance. "

"Schmintle’s Investment Banking Analyst programme transformed my approach to financial analysis and real-world decision-making. The hands-on experience and expert mentorship have significantly accelerated my career in investment banking."

"This programme has been a truly transformative journey. From the beginning, I was encouraged to think critically, explore real-world financial data, and apply investment concepts meaningfully. The final project on Nvidia gave me the chance to synthesize everything I learned—from market analysis and valuation techniques to creating professional presentations. It pushed me to be analytical, detail-oriented, and creative. Most importantly, I’m incredibly grateful for the experience and proud of how far I’ve come."

"A platform to begin your journey into Investment Banking"

"I've learnt so much about IB and banking in general."

"Completing the Investment Banking programme with Schmintle equipped me with real-world financial analysis experience, from managing invoice processes to supporting month-end close activities. It sharpened my analytical thinking, attention to detail, and ability to work independently — skills I’m now excited to bring into a professional finance setting"

"It has been very useful for me, as I have not had much work experience in finance and was provided with a lot of engaging and informative content regarding M&A and valuations which have proved beneficial. I would recommend this to future students to complete!"

"The Schmintle programme has been a transformative experience for me. Coming in with limited technical experience in Excel and financial modeling, I was guided step-by-step through building a fully functional Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation model from scratch — a skill that is both technical and commercially valuable. The support I received helped me grow my confidence and competence, especially in areas like revenue forecasting, EBITDA analysis, and understanding enterprise value. What made Schmintle stand out is its ability to take raw curiosity and turn it into applied financial insight. I now feel better equipped to pursue future opportunities in finance, particularly investment banking, with practical skills that go beyond theory. I’m truly grateful for the mentorship, the patience, and the belief that I could take on real-world financial tasks with impact. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Schmintle to any student looking to build a foundation in finance with clarity, depth, and support."
