Q: What are the seminar prerequisites?
No modeling experienced is required, just basic Excel knowledge, a laptop and passion to learn. For those with no modeling experience, this seminar provides a solid introduction to real-world financial modeling preparing participants to sit for FAST Level 1 certificate exam but most importantly to build flexible and transparent business models based on financial modeling best practices. For those with modeling experience this seminar will help the quality and productivity of your modeling and through the FAST Certification improve their personal “branding” and career prospects.
Q: What do I need to bring to the seminar?
Participants should bring their own laptop, ideally one they are accustomed to using, with a Microsoft Windows operating system and Microsoft Excel 2013 or 2016 installed and have a basic understanding of MS Excel (e.g. syntax of IF statement, purpose of $ for anchoring cell references).
The Mac version of Excel is dramatically different and it is not advised to use it during the seminar. If you have a Mac laptop you can join this seminar provided you have Windows and the Windows version of MS Excel installed (using Parallels or Bootcamp)
Q: Is this financial modeling seminar accredited?
A: Our course is one of the few financial modeling courses in the EU market that is accredited and will allow you to sit for the FAST Standard Level 1 certificate exam. We have been accredited by the FAST Standard Organization (FSO) to provide training based on FAST Modeling Standard.
If you are seeking to build more flexible and transparent spreadsheet models this is an option to learn and certify your modeling skills. The FAST Standard has been developed by professional financial modelers across the globe and provides a set of guidelines for building spreadsheets.
Q: What exactly is the FAST Level 1 Certificate?

You will get personalized support and feedback that will help you improve and master FAST ahead of the FAST Level 1 certificate exam.
Q: Do you provide any post-seminar support?
A: Of course, once you are done with the seminar, it will be important to practice – especially if you plan to take the FAST Certificate exam.

Q: Will the seminar help me with my career? Why your financial modeling training is unique ?

The Standard is being around for 16 years and it is used by many firms like PwC, Grant Thornton, Mazars etc but the Certificate came out only in 2016 so it is a unique opportunity to lead and distinguish from your peers. You can use these skills not only in Finance but almost in any company that is performing business analysis and valuation and uses advanced Excel. Literally, people with good financial modeling skills are highly sought in the industry.
