“Haydn has an ability to step outside of the Excel code and really explain the core concepts. His course taught me how to model and to understand the deal.” Student of the Renewable Energy Project Finance Modeling Course – Columbia University
“I wanted to make a career change into finance. Before Dan’s class, I could not have passed the first round of interview screening. Instead, I passed the modeling test with flying colors! I have recommended the class to everyone I know who wants to work in investment banking.” Student of the Renewable Energy Project Finance Course -Yale University
“First and foremost, a HUGE thank you for the incredible experience you gave us. The learning was invaluable and fascinating, both in finance and the renewable space. This is definitely the best course I have ever taken.” Student of the Renewable Energy Project Finance Course -Yale University
Haydn and Dan’s Renewable Project Finance modeling course was great. The course, and in particular, Dan and Haydn’s knowledge and experience exceeded our expectations. We look forward to taking another course! Brian Graff Chief Executive Officer Energy Acuity
“The Pivotal 180 energy financial modeling course was incredibly valuable, it was perfectly paced; slow enough that I could model and take thorough notes but not too slow to be boring. The instructors were comprehensive and answered all questions including after class follow-up. I highly recommend this course.”
– Director, Energy & infrastructure Investments, Siemens Financial Services.
“The content is very relevant and structure is easy and digestible. I asked a question on the forum and got a response straight away!”

Congratulations Daniel Gross, Haydn, Alison, and the rest of the Pivotal180 team. I just completed the renewable energy project finance course, and if the new tax equity course is anywhere close to that quality, I’d highly recommend it to anyone interested. The project finance course was fantastic – a practical, detailed overview that teaches every aspect of modeling. Great work to all involved! Excited to see what else you have in store. Mark Fowler, Director of Government Relations at Ameresco
I absolutely loved the RE Project Finance Modeling course, and leveled up my modeling skills much more quickly than I have through any other course. Dan and Haydn are incredibly clear and thorough, so true beginners will benefit, but the course moves quickly and I have a much more in depth knowledge of the topics I though I’d covered prior to this course. Though I typically prefer in-person courses, I’m now a convert to the online format as it allows for self-pacing, and there’s no chance of falling behind because you missed what the instructor was saying. Looking forward to the next Pivotal180 course I can sign up for! Fiona Wilson Clinton Foundation
I am extremely happy with this course and the simplified, step-by-step presentation from the Pivotal 180 team.

Rated 5 out of 5
I took this course to improve my renewable energy project finance knowledge and capabilities as I look to move from the construction industry in to renewable energy finance and I found the course incredibly valuable. The course instructor was very knowledgeable and the lessons were very well run. The content in the virtual platform that is available outside of the lessons were a great resource to help me build my competencies in certain areas that I felt I needed to develop further. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to develop a solid foundation in renewable energy project finance modelling.

I feel this was incredibly helpful, and we have already run into several instances where we have been able to translate something from the course into our daily work. Jordyn and I both agreed that we would recommend this course for anyone new to our company as an analyst. It can be difficult to catch up when you work for a smaller company, and this course filled in A LOT of knowledge gaps we have had since day 1. Nathan Bailey Financial Analyst Urbangrid on Renewable Energy Project Finance Modeling (Live Stream) 3 Dec 2020!
Thank you so much for your training! I wish I had this training so much earlier in my career, it was very helpful and I’m sure it will benefit us greatly in the future. I wouldn’t change a thing! Colin Harris Greenbank – Tailored Course
The trainers were outstanding and they contributed to the quality of the virtual training sessions and the effectiveness of the interchange was enhanced by the professionalism they displayed in providing videoconferencing support and on-line access platforms for regulatory knowledge enhancement.
The URA staff believe this training was one of the most productive they have had on electricity regulation
