What is the cheapest way to get Argus certified? Need it for moving into aquisitions
Currently starting on the debt side, but looking to transfer into REPEs.  Any way to get argus cert without shelling out buttload of money for the training course?  Like are there any free training courses or any low cost courses?  The argus one is 1200 so its kinda a fkn ripoff...
