It has been designed with the specific goal of turning students into outstanding Excel analysts in as short a time as possible.

It does so by focusing on four key areas that will help drive your Excel modelling skill to the highest level super-fast:

STRUCTURE

The crucial first step is to learn how to structure a financial model in a way that enables it to provide insights with speed and accuracy. You will discover that a well-structured model is, above all, user-friendly and simple to understand. And with that as a foundation, you will minimise the chances of confusion, as well as ensuring your models are easy to update and expand.

ACCURACY

 Once your Excel model is structurally sound, the next critical step is to make sure it is accurate, and thus perceived as trustworthy. In this part of the course, therefore, you will discover how to dramatically boost the accuracy of your financial models to ensure they don’t give users any unpleasant surprises or unnecessary headaches.

SPEED

 With structure and accuracy nailed down, you are ready to boost your speed. In this section of the course, you will learn powerful techniques to help build your Excel financial models quickly, allowing you to maximise both efficiency and productivity at work.

CLARITY

 Finally, you will learn how to infuse crystal clarity into your financial modelling. Adding this crucial component to your analysis, reporting and forecasting will ensure your models always sparkle in front of clients and customers.
