hosted Content Solutions
In recent times information has become more readily available. We are seeing busy professionals directing their own learning more and more. Professionals want to be able to learn in real-time, whilst on the job, and to quickly move from ‘not knowing’ to ‘doing’. On demand training supports this by ensuring useful training content is available anywhere at any time.
Pivotal180’s hosted content solutions facilitate high quality on demand learning in real-time at the moment of need.
Select from Pivotal180’s extensive suite of content that includes over a hundred hours of bite size modules covering all aspects of project finance, renewable energy and infrastructure modeling and much more.
Our world-class training is not limited to financial modeling and best practices in Microsoft Excel. We are committed to explaining how the numbers align with underlying financial and engineering concepts, transaction structures, legal documentation, market conditions and risk management approaches. We don’t just teach how to build models. We teach how to do deals
Our training programs are the most custom tailored in the market. As one size rarely fits all, we encourage clients to select training topics from an extensive menu of offerings as diverse as corporate governance, compliance, debt sizing, contracts, PPP's and international tax. If we don’t have something ready to go, we are happy to develop new content for your learning platform.
