Other modules: M1: Advanced Project Finance (27-29 October 2014) M2: Oil, Gas and LNG Project Finance (30 October 2014) M4: Mining Project Finance (3 November 2014) M5: Infrastructure Project Finance (4 November 2014) M6: Public-Private Project Finance (5 November 2014) M7: Project Finance Risk & Recovery (6 November 2014 - 7 November 2014) This hugely successful Academy is a comprehensive 10-day training course that examines advanced techniques relevant to the current stressed global financial markets and enhances your ‘sector’ skills (Oil, Gas, LNG, Power, Mining and Infrastructure). Although we recommend attending the full 10-day for maximum benefit, the modules are separately bookable so you can pick and choose the days that are most relevant to you. The Academy has been designed with Asia-Pacific in mind but the concepts are applicable to any region and the case studies used are global. Course Overview The Academy begins with a 3-day Advanced Project Finance Workshop focusing on the core skills of risk analysis and structuring, with a special emphasis on political risk. Team case presentations neatly wrap together these skills along with the analysis and sensitivities of the team case-study Excel models. The next four modules teach up-to-date sector skills in Oil, Gas and LNG Project Finance (1 day), Power Project Finance (1 day), Mining Project Finance (1 day) and Infrastructure Project Finance (1 day). Industry fundamentals are covered together with the key metrics and due diligence alongside case studies and international best practices. This is followed by a workshop on the application of Project Finance for Public-Private Programmes (PPPs) (1 day) with a special session on which PPP programmes work and which do not. The final module, Project Finance Risk & Recovery (2 days), looks at the key financial ratios, the credit analysis, and the forecast basis for any cashflow projection. This overview allows you to ‘Build-your-own-model-from-scratch’ with the final model used in a course bidding contest! All modules are highly interactive with many cases and recent examples referenced throughout to fully explore the world of Project Finance. Attending the 10-day Academy means you will leave the course with a thorough understanding of Project Finance techniques and sector skills that can be applied immediately to your job.
