Model and Analyze Project Finance Viability is an intermediate-level course designed for aspiring and current financial analysts, investment professionals, and business strategists who need to master the art and science of project finance. In today's capital-intensive landscape, a gut-feel approach to investment is not enough; you need to build and defend your decisions with data. This course will teach you how to construct a comprehensive, 20-year project finance model from the ground up to assess the long-term viability of large-scale projects.
You will move from a blank spreadsheet to a powerful decision-making tool, learning to model complex components like sculpted debt schedules and multi-tiered equity waterfalls. Through hands-on exercises and real-world case studies, you will master the use of scenario analysis to test a project's resilience against market volatility and interpret critical metrics like the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR). The course culminates in a realistic final project where you will triage a partially broken model, fix its core logic, and deliver a data-driven "go/no-go" recommendation to an investment committee. By the end, you'll not only know how to build a model but how to use it to make defensible, high-stakes investment decisions.
