This is by far the best training I have attended. It was extremely engaging and interactive. The facilitators were exceptionally helpful and readily provided clarification whenever needed. The timing of this bootcamp aligns perfectly with the work I am currently involved in, and I am grateful for the opportunity to participate. I particularly enjoyed the breakout sessions and the valuable interactions among the participants. The curriculum was comprehensive, covering almost every aspect of Project Finance. It introduced me to new concepts and provided alternative methods of computation. One highlight for me was learning about the FAST method of modeling, which opened new possibilities. I will recommend this training to my colleagues. It has been an enriching experience that will undoubtedly benefit anyone involved in similar work.

The bootcamp was extremely illuminating as I am transitioning from human resources to principal investment, and the last one year has been me learning finance as much as possible. The bootcamp was super important to me as I wanted to get a deeper understanding into project financing. With the bootcamp, I have understood how the project finance model works and know what to look out for in a project finance deal and give my team the very best advice.

My experience at the bootcamp has been amazing. I came in with the expectation to learn how to model, but I love the fact that the rationale of project finance and how it translates into the models were clearly explained. The bootcamp makes you to really think of what you are doing, before really pressing in the keys. I will recommend this bootcamp to anyone who wish to learn the financial, legal and the practical.

My experience in the project finance bootcamp has been a wonderful one, because I have had this training before, even in the U.K, but what I got in the bootcamp was something huge. The faculty are at the top of their game, and no parallel line exists from where I was before and where I am after the bootcamp. I have been enriched and my knowledge of project finance has been brought to another level.
