Financial assessment of a project and company

You will learn to incorporate your skill for identifying the components that help create value for a project based upon clear financial analysis, thereby enabling you to assess with greater accuracy projects or companies carrying such projects.

The FNF programme is also….

A unique approach

The programme will immerse you into an interactive teaching and learning approach based mainly on real-life case studies. Your experience and the issues that you face in your working environment will be taken into account via in-class discussions.

A programme of such high quality requires total personal dedication of all participants, including active involvement in all sessions.

End-of-year certification process

Participants who have taken the entire programme have the chance to carry out an end-of-year work project in finance plan format and therefore to be awarded the Certificat d’Executive Education en Finance pour Non-Financiers. This case study will enable you to apply the knowledge acquired during the training programme and is backed up by a business plan.

Participants.

The programme is delivered in a highly interactive fashion via a very dynamic teaching style where you truly feel that you are at the real centre of a concrete and pragmatic learning experience. Light is shed upon often the most complicated economic and financial theories. As a result, I have learned to distinguish between finance accounting and incorporating the time variable into my way of doing business. I am now better prepared than I have ever been to take investment-related decisions.

The FNF programme offers the perfect balance between the theoretical concepts of finance and a pragmatic and useful approach to learning and applying them. The majority of the components presented during the training are quick and ready to use, which represents an additional and immediate professional plus to the programme.

In today's increasingly competitive economic environment, it has become imperative to make the right financial choices. I was looking for advanced, structured training that would enable me to have a clear understanding of the latest financial tools as used and recommended by the experts. I've found it!
