Course Description

Whatever your educational or professional background—engineering, finance, or law—it can be difficult to break into the competitive field of infrastructure project finance and public-private partnerships (PPPs). A lack of technical knowledge and basic abilities may hinder your chances of getting your ideal career and breaking into the industry, and it all starts with the interview.

We can relate to your anguish since we have experienced it firsthand. Motivated by a desire to see young professionals succeed, we developed this curriculum to help them navigate this challenge. The focus of this course is more specifically towards financial modeling in Excel for project finance.

This is not your typical course; instead, it is the result of thousands of hours of research, teaching, and practice in the classroom, workplace, and interview rooms. We have extensive experience in the project financing industry, gained while working for a variety of companies, and would be pleased to share it with you.

All the insider knowledge you'd normally have to pay thousands of dollars for in a company training session is included in this course.

The project finance sector is cumbersome & complicated from a distance; however, this course will draw you closer to understanding how you can make the sector a haven for you.

El curso esta muy bueno para comenzar. Seria bueno incluyeran el uso de los Switchs para apagar/encender supuestos y uso de lista deplegable para escoger escenario real/nominal.

This course is outstanding! It was very helpful for me to understand how to create a financial model for a project from scratch. The explanations were very easy to understand. Highly recommended.

The course seems fine but there are many improvements which could make it better. 1) Inform about the cell number. 2) there is a mismatch/lag between what he sometimes refers to and what he does on screen 3) Quickly jumps to another cell

一からモデルを作ってみようということで、初心者としてはエクセルのショートカットや関数の組み方など、非常に参考になる点が多かった。一部計算式が誤ったまま、後段のレクチャーでこっそり変わっている部分があり、その点はややマイナス。また、運転資金については考慮されていないので、その辺も留意する必要があるが、基本的な進め方をロジカルに学べるため非常に良かった。

very nicely covered all the key topics of building a Financial Model... totally recommend for beginners.. But you still need to have little Microsoft Excel Knowledge.

By Jenny Rose P. Cristobal on 4/11/2024

As someone new to finance and data analytics, most of the terms are new to me. With the instructor's way of teaching, I understand these new terms and analyze the data all while learning how to use Excel. These videos are helpful and informative.

By Dr. Ramaswamy Narayanaswamy on 1/28/2024

Thanks for your wonderful explanation and structured teaching methodology. I just have one query. Can I use the Excel sheet shared by you in the beginning of the course (in resources) to teach my students face to face (in person)?

By Ramakrishna Semaladhari on 1/12/2024

Thank you for the peer knowledge and experience shared in this course, I can assume that now I can work in a construction company too, that too right from the start :-)
