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.

Frequently asked
Are these programmes suitable for board members?
They are designed for them. The governance curriculum addresses the duties directors personally carry — risk-committee oversight, ESG accountability, the questions to put to management. Participants leave able to interrogate a board pack, structure committee work, and document the oversight a regulator expects to see.
What makes the strategy programmes different from conventional corporate training?
Faculty are senior practitioners who have carried the decisions themselves — never career presenters. Strategy is worked as decisions with owners and consequences, not frameworks on slides: participants build positions on their own institution’s questions and defend them in front of the room.
Where can I find the programme fee?
BIZENIUS does not publish a rate card. Request the brochure or apply for a seat, and a senior practitioner replies within one business day with the brochure and a fee shaped to your format, location and any tailoring.
What formats do governance programmes run in?
Classroom, live virtual and hybrid, in English and French. Boards frequently commission private in-house sessions, tailored to their own charter, committee structure and regulatory context.
