The courses
What runs in London
Seven courses run in London on a rotating basis, more than in any other city, with Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Paris dates for the core programme. Dates above are the source of truth; any course not currently scheduled can be delivered in house or taken online.
FOUNDATION
Best Practice Project Finance Modelling
Build a project finance model from a blank workbook on our globally proven methodology: cash flow waterfalls, debt structuring, scenarios and sensitivities. Two days, and where most participants begin.
ADVANCED
Advanced Project Finance Modelling
Take a transaction from screening to financial close: debt sizing and sculpting, refinancing, DSRAs, covenant monitoring and fully integrated three-way financial statements.
FURTHER
Further Advanced Project Finance Modelling
Two days beyond the Advanced course for experienced modellers: the specialist structures and edge cases that come up on real transactions, taken to a working model.
SECTOR
Financial Modelling for Renewable Energy (EMEA)
One day on wind, solar and storage in European markets: revenue structures, subsidy and contract mechanics, merchant exposure and the debt structures lenders expect to see.
TRANSACTIONS
Financial Modelling for Acquisition Transactions
Transaction models for mergers and acquisitions: deal structuring, funding, returns analysis and the integration of an acquired business into the acquirer’s forecasts.
REVIEW
Financial Model Review in the AI Era
Two days on reviewing someone else’s model: a systematic approach to finding what is wrong, where AI tools help, where they do not, and how to report what you find.
OPERATIONS
Deal Model to Operational Model Mastery
One day on what happens after financial close: rebuilding the transaction model to carry actuals, revised forecasts and stakeholder reporting through the operating life of the asset.
Practicalities
Where, when and how
In person
Open courses in London run from a central London venue with full catering. Sessions run 9am to 5pm UK time over consecutive days. Bring a laptop with a recent version of Excel installed; everything else is provided, and you keep the completed model files.
Online
Every course also runs live online over Microsoft Teams, in the same format with the same trainers, which suits teams spread across the UK and Europe or working from other offices. The calendar invite shows the start time in your own time zone. Online sessions are interactive rather than recorded: you build the model alongside the trainer with individual coaching through each exercise.
Pricing and invoicing
London courses are priced in pounds sterling and shown including VAT, with the figure before VAT beneath. Send an enquiry from any date above to book; we confirm your place and send an invoice for bank transfer.
Groups and in-house delivery
Booking three or more people, or want a course delivered at your offices? Any course can be run privately for your team in London or anywhere in the UK and Europe, built around your own transactions and models. Priced per day rather than per seat, so the economics improve with every additional person in the room.
Your trainers
Taught by practitioners based in London
Every trainer on the programme is an active modeller. The people teaching the course are the people who audit and build models for live UK and European transactions the rest of the week.

Who attends
Built for UK and European markets
UK and European infrastructure finance has its own conventions, from Contracts for Difference and capacity market revenues to the role of development banks and export credit agencies in project debt. Our London courses are structured around those conventions and taught by people who work in them.
LENDERS
Banks, DFIs and ECAs
Project finance, structured finance and credit teams who size, sculpt and monitor debt, and need to understand and challenge sponsor models.
SPONSORS
Developers and investors
Renewable energy, storage, digital infrastructure, transport and PPP sponsors and infrastructure funds building and defending models through to financial close and beyond.
ADVISERS
Advisory and consulting
Financial advisers, engineers and consultants who need to interrogate a model as well as build one.
Beyond training
Model audit, development and advisory in London
Training is one arm of the practice. Our London team also audits, builds and supports the models behind live UK and European transactions, and was part of the practice named Global Model Auditor of the Year at the IJGlobal Awards 2025.
