For myself, I reached my current level of knowledge in value investing mainly through intensive readings (lots of books), real-life investing, reviewing and cataloging mistakes (on my blog) and also learning from others who I deem smarter and sharper than myself.
Books provide a good basis for starting out and one must read about valuations, corporate strategies, accounting and also psychology, among others. It really pays to be not only interested, but well-read. Munger himself said that we need a latticework of mental models to be able to invest successfully, and this is why consistent results and returns in value investing is NOT easy.
As for courses, I haven't attended any of them so I cannot comment directly. But these are the ones out there which I am currently aware of:-
1) Big Fat Purse - Alvin Chow offers a CNAV strategy to pick stocks based on formulae, screens and filters which essentially automates the stock picking process. His method looks to be based more on Graham/Schloss than Buffett/Munger/Fisher/Lynch.
2) Millionaire Investor Program (8 Investment - listed on ASX) - CEO is Ken Chee and the program has been around since 2010. From what I understand, they are aggressive in marketing and hold many free seminars, as well as advertise at events such as Invest Fair and Invest Carnival. They usually dish out a free ideas at such events and invite people to sign up for the one-day seminar (small sum of $), which then leads on to the 3-day intensive course ($X,XXX).
3) Value Investing College - Headed by Sean Seah and he has a stable of trainers. I haven't really seen them advertising, nor attended the free preview so I cannot comment much.
4) Value Investing Academy - Headed by Cayden Chang. I don't know much about them either though they claim their program is "endorsed by Mary Buffett". Could improve on their English though. Looks more "salesy" than most of the others, going by their website.
5) Adam Khoo Learning - I've heard that AK organizes a value investing type course too but have limited information on it. But I understand AK provides training for a variety of skills (including trading by Conrad Alvin), so value investing may not be his forte.
Would like to hear others' comments too. Thanks.
