Financial Modelling Masterclass

What is FMMC’s Benefit to those who plan to take the CFC Program?

"It’s good to note that the two training programs are really worth attending, whether you are experienced in constructing financial models and doing valuation analysis or just a neophyte. The two-day FMMC training program made me appreciate MS Excel more. I have learned a lot of functions and techniques to make my financial models easier to navigate and able to run scenarios in such a short period of time. Attending the CFC program made my financial models more precise, realistic, and smart because the program taught me how to choose the right corporate objectives. It also enabled me to evaluate corporate governance profiles and understand the concept of risk better. You should take the CFC program if you want to learn how to create realistic financial models, be able to pick the right projects, analyze project side costs and benefits, find the right financing mix, and to learn valuation principles. Incorporating learning from both programs enabled me to come up with a more reliable and dependable business financial model.”
-Dario A. Ramirez, Financial Analyst, Manila Water, FMMC Batch 10 and CFC Batch 12

"In FMMC, I learned advanced techniques in financial modeling and how to properly design my models. In CFC, we have been taught the basic foundation needed to build up our skills in valuation. Both classes complement each other because in FMMC, you are taught how to properly design a financial model. This is very helpful in the CFC class because there are a lot of computations that need a solid and well designed financial model. The FMMC program was really useful to me because I was able to compare what was taught in class to how I was doing it before. I was able to learn more advanced techniques and it gave me tips on how I can improve my own style of modeling. This skill is a basic requirement for any person in the field of finance. My line of work is not exactly in corporate finance, but I've been exposed to it because of a certain project in my job. The CFC class helped me build a more solid foundation in this area, which is useful to me since this is the career path that I want to pursue in the future."
