Excel Business Modelling

This course is designed specifically for those required to use Excel within the communications sector. The business modelling courses can be run over two, three or four days and each course is tailored specifically for your organisation and based on your choice from the range of modules listed below.

Early modules focus on best practice and participants will learn the "golden rules" of best practice model structure and design as well as exploring many, often underutilised, features and functions of Excel which make developing models faster and the resulting models more powerful. Participants will also learn how to use simple macros and Visual Basic to turn their spreadsheets into impressive applications.

Other sessions focus on different elements of the financial statements including sessions on revenue forecasting techniques such as the use of s-shaped and diffusion curves as well as all other elements of the financial statements such as costs, capital expenditure as well as valuation techniques as well as tools for assessing the risks of a project.

The course is highly practical and participant numbers are strictly limited to ensure high levels of personal attention. Participants will leave with a library of model components developed during the course which they can use immediately in their own models.
