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.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
