Master Valuation Without The Guesswork
Most analysts learn valuation through trial and error. We show you what actually works in Australian markets—from DCF models that hold up in board meetings to comparable analysis that clients trust. Real frameworks, not textbook theory.

Built Around How You Actually Learn
Start With The Gaps
Before you touch a model, we figure out what you already know. Then we focus on the gaps—whether that's understanding enterprise value adjustments or working through minority interest calculations. No wasted time on concepts you've mastered.
Work Through Actual Cases
You'll spend more time analyzing companies than listening to lectures. Each module includes real Australian business scenarios where you build models, defend assumptions, and adjust when the numbers don't behave. That's where learning happens.
Get Feedback That Matters
When you submit a valuation, you get specific guidance on what worked and what needs refinement. Not just "good job"—actual insights on how to improve your terminal growth assumptions or cost of capital calculations next time.
Six Methods We Cover In Depth
Each valuation approach has its place. You'll learn when to use DCF, when multiples make more sense, and how to triangulate between methods for a defensible range.
Discounted Cash Flow
Build free cash flow models that account for working capital cycles and capital expenditure patterns. Learn to justify your WACC calculations and defend terminal value assumptions when stakeholders push back.
Comparable Company Analysis
Find truly comparable peers and adjust multiples for size, growth, and profitability differences. Understand why EV/EBITDA often beats P/E ratios and when revenue multiples actually work.
Precedent Transactions
Analyze M&A deals to understand control premiums and synergy assumptions. Learn how to adjust historical transaction multiples for current market conditions and deal-specific factors.
Asset-Based Valuation
When book value matters—real estate holdings, liquidation scenarios, or companies with significant tangible assets. You'll adjust carrying values to fair market and understand when this approach is most relevant.
Dividend Discount Models
For mature companies with stable payout policies. Master the Gordon Growth Model and multi-stage DDM variations. Understand when equity value approaches make more sense than enterprise value methods.
Sum-of-the-Parts
Value diversified companies by breaking them into business segments. Apply different methodologies to different divisions and understand how conglomerate discounts affect the final number.
Your Path From Basics To Confidence
The program runs for nine months starting August 2025. We structured it so you can manage coursework alongside your current role—most participants spend 8-12 hours weekly on materials and practice cases.
Foundation Phase
First eight weeks cover financial statement analysis, time value of money, and basic cost of capital concepts. You'll practice reading between the lines of annual reports and identifying red flags.
Core Methods
Twelve weeks focused on building and defending DCF models, selecting and adjusting comparable companies, and understanding when different approaches fit different situations best.
Advanced Applications
Eight weeks working through complex scenarios—distressed companies, high-growth tech firms, cross-border valuations. You'll handle cases where textbook methods need serious adaptation.
Integration Work
Final eight weeks you complete a comprehensive valuation project. Pick a publicly traded Australian company, build your models, and present your analysis to practicing analysts who'll question your assumptions.
