Complete Financial Modeling for Project Finance in Excel (Udemy.com)

Very pleased with the way the course is presented and excecuted. The order of the lectures was good to understand what was being done and the introductory materilas and history was also very helpful in setting the scene for someone who is not familiarized with PF. Many of the "before.xls" materials were already finished. Not the complete class, but the "after" format (i.e the instructor y saying "will paint this row red as we will export this to another sheet" and the row in the before.xls was already red; some of the last excels didn't have the flags/rows that were supposedly already added in the excel to facilitate the class). I would suggest updating to newer functions such as xlookup instead of index/match, and logic ifs (e.g., ($E$12=1)*1 instead of IF($E$12=1,1,0) ) to stay up to date with excel's frequently used functions Also a final wrap up with the secuence of modelling a PF would be helpful, there are many steps to follow and I am personally lost on where to start modelling a PF if I was asked to model one today

This course is amazing! Its really easy to understand and follow along. The case makes it really easy to understand various project finance concepts. The format of delivery starting from explanation of the concepts and then moving onto excel modeling makes it really easy to follow along and understand. Short video lectures tackling specific topics make it easy to learn at a self-pace. Once again, thank you for answering all my questions and for the amazing email support! Cheers, A.

Given that I was not familiar with project finance modelling, I started this course from scratch from a knowledge base perspective. In some lessons the professor would assume that the explanation / formula was self explanatory which is not the case with me. When I lost track in one lesson, the following were difficult to grasp as well.

The quote "A surplus of effort could overcome a deficit of confidence" is really applicable to this course. It gives a very broad, thorough and detailed overview of the relevant elements in Project Finance, and I found it very helpful that Gregory leads the user step to step through the entire model built from scratch. Also practical advice such as best modelling practices. I really appreciated this course and highly recommend it.

A perfect course for understanding fundamentals of project finance. The instructor has mostly followed FAST financial modeling standards, a desirable and appreciable initiative. Greg has designed the course to accommodate both the experienced professionals and naive one. To my knowledge, modeling of IDC also creates circularity which instructor avoided in this course. One suggestion: perhaps sensitivity analysis could have been elaborated more and scenario analysis would have been performed with minimal use of VBA. Overall, it was a brilliant experience to go through this course. Hope to join another course on renewables soon.

This is a well-structured project finance course. First, it provided the background knowledge, showed how each model was constructed then harmonised the model before introducing the advance aspect. The aspect of automation and breaking circularity were very interesting and informative. I also learnt how to use some important MS Excel keyboard shortcut.

I like the approach of step-by-step building the model in excel because it helped me to understand where certain cells are from and etc. Overall, it's a great course for advance project finance modeling. And I can't wait for the Renewable Energy Financial Modeling Course from you. Cheers!

Sure. Viewing the finance modeling step by step, I have been able to improve my skills in this financial matter. It would be incredible if this instructor could explain more about advanced financial issues and financial keys to take investment decisions under uncertainty. Also, It would be welcome to see another financial modeling in cases of (i) Leverage Buy Out (LBO), (II)M&A and (III) Debt Sculting in existing corporate enterprise (cash flows managing under economic crisis). Aditionally, it would be interesting to have a model with hedging operations (from currency, interest tax or prices of commodities), specially if the project is related for mining sector.

This is a great course. The presenter was excellent and the material abundant for the thirsty learner. If I had to be honest, the material moved at a very fast pace for me. However, I picked up a better than general understanding from this first go around. I plan to go through the course again, slowing the pace and doing more case study exercises to obtain a more solid footing. I am confident I'll come out ahead and greatly improve my knowledge and skill in project finance.

This was a solid course. I appreciated the progression from project finance knowledge to modeling to advanced topics. The best way to learn the material in my opinion is to download the spreadsheet for a given topic and fill out as much as you can before watching the instructor do it himself.
