Project Finance: Funding Projects Successfully Training

Module 1 & 2: Finance and Project Finance? First, we’ll look at financing generally to see what aspects are most important for financing to succeed. Then we’ll look at project financing, a specialized form of financing, that is designed to fund (technical and infrastructure) projects.

Module 3: Projects Risk Management Because of the way in which project finance is structured, where money flows are restricted to the project (= ring fencing and limited recourse financing), careful management of the project risks becomes crucial for the success of the financing. In this week, we’ll focus on the system that has been developed to stabilize project cash flows and reduce the financial impact of risks.

Module 4: Optimizing the Legal Structure in Project Finance By this week, we’ll have built up a good understanding of the most important financial and risk management aspects in a project financing. This week we’ll look at the standardized legal structure that has been developed to achieve all the project finance objectives.

Module 5: Using a Project Finance Model Support the Funding In this week you will work with the financial model in Microsoft Excel. You will learn how to create a model for your own project and apply it to convince lenders and investors.

Wrap-up In the final week you will have a wrap-up module of the course. In this module, we’ll bring all elements together to give you a good overview.

Participants opting for the verified certificate will have access to webinars, additional reading materials and a case study (a sample project) that we will use throughout the course to practice the topics we are covering.
