We will work with you to devise an in-house course format and agenda to best suit the needs of your team.

Our corporate financial modelling training is bespoke - our experts can deliver any course from a single day-long workshop to a complex multi-stage-programme running over several months. There is the option to supplement the instructor-led training with online preparation and post-course practice or assessments. We can deliver courses in a classroom at your offices, or via live online sessions to suit your timescales and the availability of the group.

The sections below show just some of the course content and topics we can offer. If you need a completely custom agenda and a company-specific case study we would be delighted to discuss that with you. Our courses can be tailored to suit different sectors, budgets and levels of experience.
