Description

Could you build a bank-ready project finance model in just two hours?Face the exact kind of modeling test employers use—and beat it.This course puts you in a timed, interview-style challenge where you build a complete project finance model from a blank Excel sheet. You’ll work from a realistic case study brief, extract the assumptions that matter, and construct a clean, auditable model step by step—exactly how a top candidate performs under pressure.How the challenge worksStart with a short orientation and download pack (case study PDF, SOFR forward curve, model styles template).Tackle the core 2-hour assessment: from inputs to calculating project IRR, sculpting senior debt to a target DSCR, and assessing equity IRR and payback.Then watch the full walkthrough, where every formula, link, and structural choice is explained so you can compare your approach to a professional standard.Finish with a focused interview drill (50 questions) that mirrors what you’re likely to be asked once the build is done—some case-specific, some fundamentals.Why this format wins interviewsInterviewers look for two things: sound logic and clean execution at speed. By forcing you to decide what to model (and what to leave out), keep formatting consistent, and communicate assumptions clearly, this challenge trains the exact behaviors that differentiate successful candidates.What you’ll walk away withA full, working model you built under time constraints—proof of readiness.A polished reference solution to benchmark structure, links, and checks.A repeatable approach: re-run the test with your own twists (different prices, opex, capex, or tenor/DSCR) to keep sharpening your edge.If you want more than theory—if you want to feel ready walking into a real modeling test or simply want to test yourself for the satisfaction of nailing a hard build—this course is your arena. Enroll and take the challenge.
