Questions About Our Approach

We get these questions regularly. Our approach differs significantly from typical finance education because we focus on practical application rather than theoretical concepts.

What makes this different from university finance courses?
We teach techniques that practitioners actually use daily. University courses often focus on academic theory, while our programs emphasize building models and analysis tools you'll use immediately in professional settings. The math is the same, but the application is entirely practical.
How much mathematics background do I need?
Strong arithmetic and basic algebra are sufficient to start. We introduce statistical concepts gradually and always in context of specific financial problems. Most participants find the mathematical requirements less intimidating than expected because everything connects to real business situations.
Will I work with actual company data?
Absolutely. From week two onwards, you'll analyze real financial statements from ASX-listed companies, US companies, and private firms. We believe you learn financial analysis by doing financial analysis, not by reading about it in textbooks.
What software tools will I learn?
Excel remains the primary tool in most finance roles, so we focus heavily on advanced Excel techniques. We also introduce Bloomberg Terminal basics, Python for financial analysis, and specialized modeling software used in investment banking and corporate finance.
