Program Overview

Learn What Companies Actually Need

Most courses teach theory. We teach what finance teams actually use every day. Our curriculum comes from reviewing hundreds of real models used in Australian businesses.

You'll work through scenarios pulled from actual projects—building forecasts, running valuations, and creating dashboards that decision-makers can understand without a finance degree.

  • Twelve weeks of hands-on model building with weekly assignments
  • Work with datasets from real Australian companies
  • Learn troubleshooting techniques for when formulas break
  • Build a portfolio of models you can show potential employers
