Project Finance: Project Finance 101 to Advanced Modeling

This course offers a structured, practical pathway to understanding project finance, guiding learners from essential concepts to advanced financial modeling techniques. Through realistic scenarios such as infrastructure projects funded by carefully designed debt–equity structures, participants gain insight into how long-term projects are financed, assessed, and managed.

Learners develop hands-on expertise in building financial models that evaluate project feasibility, optimize capital structures, and design repayment mechanisms driven by project-generated cash flows. The program also explores the establishment and operational role of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) in executing and isolating project risks. By combining theory with practice, the course prepares participants to handle complex project finance challenges confidently.
