Common Questions About Our Programs
We've compiled answers to questions prospective learners frequently ask about our capital budgeting education approach.
What mathematical background do I need?
You'll need comfort with basic algebra and percentages. We provide refreshers on financial mathematics as needed. Most concepts build logically, so strong arithmetic skills and willingness to learn matter more than advanced math background.
How much time should I plan to dedicate weekly?
Plan for 6-8 hours weekly including readings, exercises, and case study work. This allows adequate time to absorb concepts and practice applications without overwhelming your schedule.
Do you provide industry-specific examples?
Absolutely. Our case studies span manufacturing, technology, retail, and services sectors. We focus heavily on Canadian businesses but include international examples to broaden perspective on different market conditions.
What software tools will I learn?
Excel remains the primary tool since it's ubiquitous in finance roles. We also introduce specialized financial modeling software and demonstrate how to build templates you can use professionally.
