Most project finance models fail where it matters: under lender scrutiny, at debt sizing, in the covenant test nobody re-ran. This masterclass extends your debt modelling capability so the model drives the transaction rather than trailing it — cash flow cascades, debt sculpting, lock-up mechanisms and multi-asset techniques built with a continuous focus on robustness and flexibility. The modelling principles apply across mining, oil and gas, power, renewables, real estate and infrastructure and PPP structures, including African market conditions. The cohort works through building a reliable model from scratch in Excel, from assumptions to financial close.
