Questions We Hear Most Often
What makes your approach different from university finance courses?
We focus on practical application rather than theoretical frameworks. While universities teach formulas, we teach you how to spot problems in real financial data and what to do about them. Our instructors work in active finance roles and bring current market insights.
Do I need prior accounting experience to succeed?
Not at all. We start with basic concepts and build complexity gradually. About 40% of our participants come from non-finance backgrounds. What matters more is curiosity about how businesses really work and willingness to dig into details.
How much time should I expect to dedicate each week?
Most participants spend 6-8 hours per week on coursework and practice exercises. This includes review sessions and case study analysis. The workload is manageable alongside full-time employment if you plan your schedule.
What software and tools will I learn to use?
We focus primarily on Excel for financial modeling, plus introduction to Python for data analysis. You'll also work with real financial databases and learn to interpret market data from sources like Bloomberg and Reuters.

Our instructors aren't just teachers—they're active finance professionals who understand current market conditions and regulatory changes affecting Australian businesses.
