Financial modelling

Financial Training Associates' Excel modelling courses encompass:

Financial modelling training courses

Our financial modelling programs are all “hands on”.  As part of an FTA financial modelling course delegates are provided with the opportunity to create their own cash flow forecast in Excel as part of building a complete and integrated model of company accounts from scratch.  The focus in training is on learning by doing, with plenty of guidance and support provided along the way.

Advanced financial modelling course training

Do you already have some model-building experience? On an advanced financial modelling course delegates review advanced Excel features and techniques.  On advanced programs, course delegates practise buliding superior financial models using advanced methods, applying Excel shortcuts and tricks as they go.

Corporate finance and valuation modelling courses

Our corporate finance course program focuses on the application of corporate finance and valuation techniques to real life problems.  Although grounded in financial theory, the emphasis here is on “workshop style” teaching with pragmatic application to real life situations.  For example, as part of their work on a Financial Training Associates' valuation course, delegates work in teams to critique and suggest improvements to valuation modelling work conducted by major investment banks.

Private equity leveraged buyout (LBO) and MBO training courses

On our private equity training courses delegates imagine working on a leveraged acquisition that sees a business take on significant extra debt.  For example, on Financial Training Associates' LBO modelling course training programs delegates start with a blank spreadsheet and create a detailed cash flow model, just like they might have to when building a model in their own workplace.  Delegates then consider the impact of a LBO undertaken by the acquirer.  Training participants can analyse how the business performs under stress and how key financial ratios, return measures and bank covenant tests respond with a change in circumstances.  Delegates are guided through a complete LBO model build up and are shown all the steps they need to take.

Project finance modelling training courses

Our project finance modelling course programs encompass topics such as project risk and allocation, key performance indicators, major areas of negotiation, key contractual issues, due diligence, documentation, the impact and role of financing structures, as well as Excel financial modelling training in project finance.  Learning points on our project finance courses are regularly reinforced by referencing real life and well known case studies.

Merger & acquisition (M&A) modelling training courses

Subjects covered on our merger modelling course programs include merger and acquisition processes, merger modelling, accounting treatments and analysis.  What are the key risks?  How should a deal be structured and financed?  What’s the impact for the purchaser?  How could a buyer evaluate an acquisition and what kind of price could they pay?  Common frameworks employed by investment banking teams are clearly explained and applied to real-life case studies.
