Master the Numbers That Drive Business Decisions
Real valuation skills that actually matter in the Australian market
Look, most finance courses throw theory at you and hope something sticks. We're different. Our program focuses on valuation techniques you'll actually use—the kind that help you understand what businesses are really worth and why.

What Makes Valuation Work Different Here
We've spent years figuring out what actually helps analysts build confidence with numbers. It's not about memorizing formulas—it's about understanding the logic behind them.
Every technique we teach comes with real examples from Australian companies. You'll work through actual scenarios, not theoretical exercises that don't translate to your desk.
We cap sessions at 12 people because you need space to ask questions and work through problems. Learning valuation in a lecture hall just doesn't work.
Programs run over 8-10 weeks with evening sessions. We get that you're juggling work and life—our autumn 2025 intake starts in late March with flexible attendance options.
How We Break Down Complex Valuation Methods
Valuation can feel overwhelming at first. There are multiple methods, different assumptions, and a lot of judgement calls. Our approach strips it back to the essentials and builds from there.

I've been teaching valuation for nearly a decade now, and I still remember how confusing it was when I first started as an analyst. The textbooks made everything seem so neat and certain, but real valuations are messy. That's why our program emphasizes judgement alongside technique. We'll cover the mechanics thoroughly, but we'll also talk about the grey areas—where different analysts might reasonably disagree and why.
