Why Choose This Course

The Project Finance & Financial Analysis Techniques for Infrastructure Projects training course provides a structured framework for evaluating, financing and analysing major infrastructure investments. It enables finance, project and infrastructure professionals to approach complex financial decisions with confidence and technical precision. Such projects demand substantial capital commitments, involve complex risk structures and create long-term financial implications. Establishing the correct appraisal, financing structure and financial analysis from the outset is therefore critical.

Over five focused days, delegates examine every stage of the infrastructure project finance lifecycle. The course progresses from project selection and feasibility appraisal to cash flow estimation and financing structures. Delegates also apply advanced evaluation techniques, including NPV, IRR, DSCR and sensitivity analysis. The emphasis extends beyond theory, providing analytical tools and practical frameworks for sound decisions on complex, high-value infrastructure investments.

This Project Finance & Financial Analysis Techniques for Infrastructure Projects training course will highlight:

Selecting infrastructure projects and appraising their feasibility
Estimating project cash flows accurately
Structuring finance for major infrastructure projects
Evaluating investments using NPV and IRR
Applying DSCR in financial analysis
Testing financial assumptions through sensitivity analysis

Learning Approach

How will this Training Course be Presented?

The Project Finance & Financial Analysis Techniques Course uses a structured and analytically oriented learning method that advances logically across the complete infrastructure project finance lifecycle. Each day focuses on a separate phase, beginning with project selection and appraisal and continuing through financing structures to advanced financial evaluation.

Case studies, spreadsheet-based financial modelling, and examples from real-world infrastructure projects are incorporated throughout, enabling delegates to apply each technique covered directly within their own work.

Methods of delivery include:

Instructor-led training on project finance principles, appraisal frameworks, and techniques for financial analysis
Feasibility and appraisal workshops that apply technical, economic, environmental, and risk analysis to infrastructure scenarios
Cash flow forecasting activities that use PERT and probabilistic analysis to address project uncertainty
Spreadsheet modelling sessions that develop practical abilities in financial analysis and cash flow evaluation
Financing structure workshops exploring equity, debt, recourse, non-recourse, bonds, and guarantees
Cost of finance calculations based on real project financing scenarios to build analytical confidence
Capital appraisal technique exercises covering calculations for Payback, ARR, NPV, IRR, ROE, and DSCR
Sensitivity and simulation analysis sessions that build financial risk management capability for complex infrastructure investments

Financial Analysis & Evaluation

The Project Finance & Financial Analysis Techniques for Infrastructure Projects training course begins with the defining features of project finance, its distinction from corporate financing and the roles of the principal parties involved throughout the project cycle. It then considers project structures, contractual relationships and the identification, allocation and mitigation of key risks. The agenda progresses to financial evaluation, covering projected cash flows, the time value of money and core investment measures, including net present value and internal rate of return.

The course subsequently develops the structure of project financial models, moving from assumptions concerning construction costs, operating expenditure and revenues to funding arrangements, debt schedules and forecast financial statements. Attention then turns to financing sources and capital structure, alongside the principal ratios used to assess debt service and project performance. The concluding topics address sensitivity and scenario analysis, the effect of changing assumptions on financial results, and the wider appraisal of project feasibility, risk exposure and financing capacity.
