The current economic environment has imposed many challenges to organisations around the globe irrespective of their sectors. Companies are eager to invest in new projects to maximize their success, but at the same time keen to learn the key techniques in evaluating the costs-benefits and risk associated with the new projects. A knowledge of thorough analysis of cost-benefits and risk, allows organisations to take on more complex and novel projects that only few organisations have the capabilities to understand the importance of such projects to their strategic goals.
This training course offers the delegates insights into how to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and risk of new projects. Participants will enhance their skills in analysing new projects investments, risk measurements, accounting for the impact of inflation and various cost estimation techniques. The training will be using various proven techniques to ensure that delegates maximize their understanding of different methods and techniques presented during the training. New concepts and techniques are introduced gradually to match delegates’ knowledge and progress from fundamental to advanced concepts.
This GLOMACS Investment Projects training course will highlight how to:
This Investment Projects training course will be structured as a workshop with formal presentations, interactive worked examples, and simulations. Relevant examples are provided to illustrate the application of each of the topics covered and opportunities are provided to learn and apply the techniques
The organisation will benefit from the development and practical application of advanced skills in project investment as well as from raised awareness of important recent developments in the market.
Specific benefits for the organisation from this Investment Projects training course include:
Participants will benefit from updated knowledge and practical skills in assessing the cost, benefit and risk related to the project. Participants will have:
This Investment Projects training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
This training course equips participants with the practical skills and analytical frameworks needed to evaluate the costs, benefits, and risks associated with investment projects. Over five days, the course covers cost estimation techniques, cost-benefit analysis methods, capital budgeting tools (including NPV, IRR, and MIRR), sources of project financing, and budgeting principles. The emphasis is on building the ability to make well-informed strategic investment decisions in complex and uncertain environments.
The course is designed to accommodate both finance professionals and non-financial managers who wish to understand cost-benefit analysis and investment decision-making. Concepts are introduced progressively, starting with cost estimation basics before advancing to capital budgeting, risk analysis, and financing structures. Participants who are already comfortable with accounting and financial vocabulary will be able to move quickly into the more advanced techniques, while those with less finance experience will benefit from the structured, step-by-step approach.
The course covers a comprehensive range of techniques, including fixed and variable cost analysis, direct and indirect cost allocation, absorption and marginal costing, activity-based costing (ABC), and cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis. Participants also work with cash flow estimation, working capital management, and scenario and sensitivity analysis using Excel. These techniques are applied directly to project investment contexts, ensuring participants can use them in their own organisations.
Day 3 is dedicated entirely to project appraisal and capital budgeting. Participants learn the time value of money, how to calculate and interpret Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR), and the Profitability Index (PI). The day also covers simulation analysis for NPV break-even and capital rationing decisions. These are the core quantitative tools used by organisations worldwide to evaluate whether an investment project should proceed.
Day-4 of this Investment Projects training course focuses specifically on sources of finance for investment projects. Participants explore long-term and short-term financing options, the distinction between equity and debt finance, and how to evaluate the types of finance available. The day also covers the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) and its role in project appraisal, as well as risk measurement techniques and strategies for identifying uncertainties and taking mitigative or responsive action.
Risk analysis is woven throughout the course. Participants learn how to estimate and measure risk at the project level, conduct scenario and sensitivity analysis, assess the impact of uncertainty on investment decisions, and apply risk mitigation strategies to determine appropriate contingencies for residual risks. This integrated approach ensures that participants understand risk not as a standalone topic but as a critical dimension of every investment decision.
The course is structured as a workshop with formal presentations complemented by interactive worked examples and simulations. Relevant case examples are provided to illustrate the application of each topic, and participants have opportunities to practise and apply techniques throughout. The use of Excel for scenario and sensitivity analysis on Day 2 is one example of the hands-on approach that runs across all five days.
Day 5 addresses the principles and key concepts of budgeting, including the context for budgeting, its role in achieving organisational targets, the shortcomings of traditional budgeting processes, and the main issues with budget preparation. Crucially, the day explores how budgets influence project investment decisions, connecting the strategic planning covered earlier in the week to the operational reality of how organisations allocate resources and approve capital expenditure.
