New business school graduates face an increasingly competitive job-market. No longer does academic performance guarantee a position in investment banking, research or asset management. Indeed, today’s finance interviews often focus more on practical experience than on classroom learning.

Equally, professionals already in the workforce often lack the know-how necessary for career advancement or to transition into the financial services sector. So what can new graduates and existing professionals do, if they possess little or no relevant work experience? Simple – learn the practical skills required on the job. In finance, one skillset above all others is at the top of this list – financial modeling.

Whether it be a position in corporate finance, M&A or private equity. Whether it be a career in real-estate fund management, or as an analyst at a listed real estate company. Financial projections are almost always at the heart of the job.

This online video and Excel course now gives aspiring analysts the chance to acquire this essential skillset. Using video lectures, Excel exercises and detailed step-by-step instruction manuals, the online course guides students through every step of the financial modeling process.
