About the program

Project Finance Modeling is a unique hands-on course that will provide you with the ability to understand the nuances of project finance theory. By working with actual models in a hands-on environment, you will be able to quantify the risks of different types of projects and use models to assist in the negotiation of contracts.

Learning Outcomes

  • Evaluating actual models with case studies to assess the overall economics of projects.
  • Understand project finance models in the context of finance theory in relation to subtle issues associated with contract structuring, debt sizing, debt funding, debt repayment, debt servicing costs, and credit enhancements.
  • Interpret models developed by other people and add master scenario pages to any model using case studies of actual models.
  • Create flexible models with effective summary statistics to evaluate alternative timing, operating assumptions, financial structures, re-financing, and contract pricing.
  • Work through the difficult problems in project finance modelling, including complex cash flow waterfalls with balloon payments and mini-perm structures as well as the sizing of debt with capitalized interest and alternative drawdown schedules.
  • Flexible debt sculpting with income taxes.
  • Understand the benefits of creating user-defined functions rather than copy and paste macros to resolve any circular reference problems in project finance models, including funding problems and debt sculpting.
  • Learn Excel techniques with some VBA to make better presentations from models and to make models more transparent and efficient.
