Course Content
Ideal for lenders and for equity investors / advisors needing further detail on debt
If you have done one of our project finance modeling courses, you may want to dive deeper into more sophisticated debt. This course is an add on to our project finance modeling courses, or suitable for those with years of project finance modeling
Our Advanced Debt course covers leverage constraints, debt sensitivities, P50/P99 and P90 debt sizing. The course also now covers sweep-style debt such as Term Loan B or merchant battery debt, multi-tranche debt, circularities, junior debt, swaps, DSRAs/DSRFs, and reserve accounts.
We have extended course so students can complete more modeling and have an opportunity to add these more complex structures into a project finance model (the only way you learn is by doing). We have added macros to the advanced debt course (copy/paste for construction interest and fees, goal seek for PPA prices, copy pastes for CADS, and creating data tables with macros embedded). Students will now have to add macros into the cumulative models to deal with these circularities.
The model students will develop is enhanced, with more instruction and support. The additional homework provides more opportunity for feedback and the longer sessions enable more Q&A, which is required for advanced topics.
We believe this course, combined with our project finance core courses, will be the most comprehensive project finance modeling course available.
Vanilla project finance debt is complicated enough. Once you get to the more sophisticated structures, it just get’s harder. And nobody has been there to teach you…..until now!
Our new Advanced Project Finance Debt course is available as a livestream course and will be online next year.
If you have completed one of our project finance modeling courses (or you have experience with project finance debt), we hope to see you on this course!
