Running out of money halfway through a project isn't just embarrassing. It can sink your business. We built this program after watching too many talented people fail not because their ideas were bad, but because they couldn't see financial trouble coming.
This isn't theory from textbooks. It's practical training based on what actually works when budgets get tight and stakeholders start asking difficult questions.
Our autumn 2025 intake opens in September. Classes run evenings and weekends, so you don't have to quit your current role to join.
Most people skip this part and regret it later. We start with how money actually moves through projects and why forecasts fall apart.
This is where things get interesting. You'll learn to identify what could go wrong before it does, and more importantly, what to do about it.
Theory only takes you so far. The final phase puts you in realistic situations where budgets are bleeding and decisions need to happen fast.
Casimir spent twelve years cleaning up budget disasters for construction and tech companies. He's seen every type of financial crisis you can imagine, and probably a few you can't. His approach is blunt but practical, which students seem to appreciate when they're knee-deep in spreadsheets at 2am.
Petronella worked in banking for eight years before moving into consulting. She's particularly good at explaining complex risk models in ways that don't require a mathematics degree. Her workshop sessions focus on real scenarios she's encountered, which makes the material stick better than abstract examples.
The full programme runs for six months starting September 2025. We keep cohorts small deliberately, around eighteen people per intake, so everyone gets actual attention rather than being lost in a crowd.
Eight weeks covering financial fundamentals and risk identification. Classes meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6pm to 9pm, plus one Saturday workshop each month. This phase moves quickly, but the pace is manageable if you can commit about ten hours weekly.
Seven weeks focused on assessment methods and response planning. Schedule stays the same, but the workload increases slightly as you start applying concepts to actual case studies. Expect to spend around twelve hours per week on coursework and preparation.
Nine weeks of intensive scenario work and simulations. This is where everything comes together. You'll work on team projects that mirror real budget crises, complete with unrealistic deadlines and incomplete information, just like actual business situations.
Your final project involves a comprehensive risk assessment and recovery plan for a realistic business scenario. You'll present your findings to a panel that includes both instructors and external professionals from the industry. It's challenging, but by this point, you'll be ready.
Applications for September 2025 open in May. We look for people who are serious about improving their financial management skills, not just collecting certificates.
