Advanced PPP Project Finance & Infrastructure for Bankers Masterclass

How bankers break a project into its component risks, allocate and price them, then structure the financing — from market analysis and key agreements to capital markets.

Format

Classroom · Live Virtual

The programme

Banks are moving into project finance faster than their credit skills are moving with them. As private players take a larger role in infrastructure, the lenders who win are those who can break a structure into its component parts — construction, operating, political and regulatory risks — and put each one where it belongs. This masterclass works at a deliberate pace through risk analysis and mitigation with a specific emphasis on structured financing, then through the full menu of funding: bank markets, bond issuance, leasing, development banks, ECAs and other official creditors. The cohort works through assembling market information, developing key agreements and conducting rigorous quantitative analysis of live project structures.

What you will do

Break a project structure into its component parts, then rebuild the analysis from market information to financial close.
Allocate construction, operating, political and regulatory risks to the parties best placed to carry them.
Work the full financing checklist, from development banks, ECAs and official creditors to bond issuance and leasing alternatives.
Test project economics under uncertainty, weighing probabilistic against non-probabilistic model-building and competing cost-of-capital approaches.
Negotiate the key contractual agreements, knowing which clauses and structuring considerations lenders will fight for.
Use capital markets for projects where bank appetite alone will not close the deal.

Who attends

  • Bankers and investment bankers moving into project finance
  • Project finance modellers and financial advisors
  • Sponsors, joint-venture partners and project developers

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

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.
