Program Professional Framework
Financial Modelling Using Excel
Program Overview
This hands-on programme concentrates on the Excel techniques that make models fast to build, flexible and easy to check. «Financial Modelling Using Excel» covers workbook layout, timeline and flag formulas, INDEX, OFFSET-free lookups and dynamic arrays, handling circular references for interest, data tables and Goal Seek for sensitivities, scenario selectors, charts for outputs and Excel's auditing tools. Participants build a complete operating and financing model step by step, applying consistent formula conventions and checks throughout.

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants build an Excel model for a new facility or business line from a blank workbook, with timeline flags, operating schedules, a debt schedule without iterative calculation, data-table sensitivities and an output dashboard with integrity checks.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
