We're preparing courses that teach you how to read financial statements, understand business metrics, and make sense of market trends. Real skills for real-world decisions.
These programs are still being finalized, but here's what we're working on. Dates might shift a bit as we refine the curriculum and confirm instructors.
Learn to read balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports. We'll cover what each line means and how to spot patterns that matter. You'll work through real company examples and practice identifying strengths and weaknesses in financial data.
Numbers tell stories when you know which ones to compare. This course focuses on profitability ratios, liquidity measures, and efficiency indicators. You'll learn what healthy metrics look like across different industries and how to adjust for company size.
Economic data influences business decisions, but it can be hard to interpret. We'll look at employment figures, interest rates, inflation measures, and sector performance. The goal is to understand context when evaluating companies or making personal finance choices.
Simple spreadsheet models can help you project cash flow, test scenarios, and make better forecasts. This course covers model structure, assumption testing, and sensitivity analysis. You'll build several models from scratch and learn to present findings clearly.
Here's what people usually ask when considering our programs.
Not for the February course. That one starts from scratch. The later programs assume you understand basic financial concepts, but we'll provide a refresher list before you start.
We're planning to open registration in December 2025. Class sizes are limited, so we recommend joining our mailing list if you're interested in getting an early notification.
A laptop and spreadsheet software (Excel or Google Sheets work fine). For the modeling course, you'll want Excel specifically. We'll provide datasets and templates as we go.
Classes run two evenings per week, about two hours each. Then expect another three to four hours for reading and exercises. It's manageable alongside work, but you do need to keep up.
We're planning in-person sessions at our Dubbo location. There might be a virtual option for some courses depending on demand, but we haven't confirmed that yet.
Yes, you'll receive a completion certificate if you finish the coursework and assessments. It documents what you learned, though these aren't accredited qualifications.
We try to balance structure with flexibility. You'll have clear learning objectives, but also room to explore topics that match your interests.
Each week combines short lectures with hands-on exercises. You'll work through actual company reports, calculate ratios, and discuss what the numbers reveal. Most people find the group discussions particularly helpful because everyone notices different details.
Financial analysis isn't about memorizing formulas. It's about developing judgment and learning to ask good questions. We start simple and gradually increase complexity as you get comfortable with the basics. By the end, you should feel confident reviewing reports independently.
We're still finalizing details for these programs. If you're interested or have questions about what might work for your schedule, get in touch. We're happy to discuss whether these courses would be a good fit for what you're hoping to learn.
