Training Courses
Overview
We develop, organize, and run financial modeling courses around the world, though principally from our primary training center in central London. Most of our courses are open to any individual and are regularly scheduled throughout the year in principal cities worldwide (see locations). We can also provide customized ‘in-house’ courses to organizations upon request. We teach from what we have developed and practiced through executing our transaction support and model review assignments.
Our courses are organized into three main series:
T series – our technical design and build courses for those who need to build or regularly adapt financial models
C series - our commercial courses for those who need to understand and use models built by others for decision-making purposes; and
PF series - our practical finance series of courses for specific professions, such as engineers and lawyers, who need working knowledge of financial terms and modeling to help provide a better service to their clients.
Courses in each series are pitched at three levels of experience: entry, intermediate, and advanced. Attending an entry level course is a pre-requisite to attending some of the higher level courses. The tables below summarize the courses, levels, and focus of the training. For further information on each course click on the course title.
