Master Financial Analysis Through Real-World Practice
Learning fundamental analysis isn't about memorizing formulas. It's about seeing patterns in financial data, understanding what companies actually do with their money, and building confidence in your own judgment.
Our program runs over eight months starting October 2025. You'll work through real company reports, not textbook examples. And you'll leave with skills that matter — the ability to look at a balance sheet and know what questions to ask.
The Learning Journey
We've broken down fundamental analysis into digestible parts. Each module builds on what came before, so you're never overwhelmed but always challenged.

- Efficiency measures across industries
- When ratios mislead (and what to watch for)
Company Valuation Methods

What Changes After Eight Months
The difference isn't just knowledge. It's confidence — the ability to open an annual report and actually understand what you're looking at.
Where Most People Start
- Financial statements feel like foreign language documents
- Ratios are just numbers without context or meaning
- Company valuations seem arbitrary and confusing
- Investment decisions rely heavily on others' opinions
- Risk assessment is mostly guesswork
- Industry differences aren't clear or considered
Where You Can Be
- Read financial reports with genuine understanding
- Calculate and interpret key ratios confidently
- Build basic valuation models independently
- Form your own investment opinions with reasoning
- Spot red flags and assess risk systematically
- Understand how industry context shapes analysis
Common Obstacles and How We Address Them
Financial Jargon Overload
Terms like EBITDA, working capital, and free cash flow can pile up fast. When everything sounds technical, it's easy to zone out and lose the thread of what actually matters.
Plain Language First
We introduce one concept at a time with simple explanations before adding technical terms. Each new piece of jargon gets a clear definition and real-world example.
- Glossary with everyday language explanations
- Video breakdowns showing concepts visually
- Practice exercises that reinforce terminology naturally
Theory Without Context
Learning formulas and ratios in isolation doesn't help much. You can memorize the current ratio formula but still not know when it's useful or what good looks like in different industries.
Industry-Specific Examples
Every concept comes with examples from at least three different sectors. You'll see how retail companies differ from tech firms, and why manufacturing needs different benchmarks.
- Comparative case studies across industries
- Real company reports as learning materials
- Discussion of why standards vary by sector
Getting Stuck Without Help
Self-paced learning sounds great until you hit a confusing section at 10 PM and have nowhere to turn. Questions pile up and momentum stalls when you're learning alone.
Multiple Support Channels
You're not on your own here. We've built several ways to get unstuck quickly, whether it's a quick question or a deeper conceptual issue.
- Private forum with instructor responses within 24 hours
- Bi-weekly live Q&A sessions for group discussion
- Peer study groups organized by time zone
- Office hours twice monthly for one-on-one help
Balancing Work and Study
Most people taking this program have jobs. Finding 8-10 hours weekly for coursework is tough when work demands are unpredictable and life doesn't pause for learning schedules.
Flexible Pacing Options
The program has structure but allows breathing room. Modules unlock on schedule, but you can work ahead or take extra time as needed within reasonable limits.
- Content available 24/7 for your schedule
- Two-week buffer for completing assignments
- Recorded sessions if you miss live classes
- Pause option for up to four weeks if needed
Program Details and Next Steps
Our next cohort starts in October 2025. The program runs for 32 weeks with a winter break in late December through early January. Classes follow a Tuesday and Thursday evening schedule, with recorded sessions available afterward.
Cost is €2,400 for the full program, or three payments of €850. This includes all materials, live sessions, project feedback, and access to the alumni network after completion.
- Application deadline: September 15, 2025
- No prerequisites required, though basic Excel skills help
- Rolling admissions — earlier applications reviewed first
- Limited to 35 participants per cohort for quality interaction
- Certificate of completion provided after final project
We're not promising career transformations or guaranteed job outcomes. What we offer is solid training in fundamental analysis with real instructor feedback and peer learning opportunities.
