THE ADVANTAGES OF STUDYING BY DISTANCE LEARNING

Now, regardless of your geographical location, you can experience the same level of quality as our public or incompany course offers but you can study at home, in the office or even on the move. Theres also the huge savings of cost and time by not having to travel to the training location. To make your studies even more relevant and valuable, the course in now accredited by the Business School at Middlesex University at a Post Graduate Certificate level, making it the only academically recognised distance learning course on the topic of Project Finance in existence. We all face more pressure in our business lives. Finding time to attend courses can prove very difficult and well-meaning plans are too often put aside due to lack of time. If youve had to put training and personal development on the back burner owing to other commitments, this essential distance learning course is exactly what youve been waiting for. Through distance learning you can enjoy the benefits of studying, whilst minimising disruption to your existing commitments. You can set the pace at which you learn, applying the knowledge, skills and expertise gained from the materials to your work straight away.

PROJECT FINANCE
DELIVERED BY DISTANCE LEARNING OVER 16 WEEKS

Dear Colleague ,
What you have in your hands represents a new era in the world of project finance education. You can now choose to study the only academically accredited distance learning project finance course delivered exclusively online. Operating at an intensive level and taught by one of the worlds most respected project finance educators, it is now possible to gain a post graduate certificate from Middlesex University. And, as we know certification is important to some people but isnt to others, we now offer two routes to complete the course, the university accredited route, or the standard non-accredited route that has been enjoyed by so many of our delegates in the past. With the global appetite for project finance set to continue unabated, we set out to create the ultimate learning resource for those in the industry looking to develop their skills and knowledge and gain a formal qualification. The IFF suite of project finance courses is already recognised as being the best project finance training that money can buy and now we have taken that a step further with a brand new course delivered exclusively via distance learning. Now you can receive industry leading training at a time, pace and location that suits you. The course has been structured to enable students to grasp the complexities of modern project financing and takes you through everything from the basic concepts of the topic through to structuring the deal, contracts and the nuances of the different sectors such as oil and gas and infrastructure. The revolutionary toolkit approach allows you to soak up the practical components of the course and absorb the information at a pace that is right for you. At the end of each unit there is an assessment that will allow you to benchmark your growth in knowledge and understanding and will also show you what a tangible ROI distance learning provides. For those wishing to receive a Post Graduate Certificate an additional marked assignment of 2000 words will also need to be submitted. IFF is excited to open up this new frontier in Project Finance education and our partnership with Middlesex University makes this course even more invaluable. Interest in this course has been phenomenal already, and as a special introductory offer, we are giving you the opportunity to preview the first unit completely free of charge, giving you the chance to experience the quality of the course before signing up to the full programme. I look forward to welcoming you on the course.

COURSE DIRECTOR Steve Mills

Steve Mills is a career project financier with 30 years of lending and advisory experience. Until 2007 he was the Head of the oil and gas project finance team at RBS, London. Earlier in his career he worked for HSBC and Sumitomo Bank, as well as co-founding a corporate finance boutique firm which specialised in advisory work for independent project sponsors. While still occasionally acting as a consultant, since 2008 Steve has concentrated on training in the project finance sector. He has developed and delivered a number of highly-regarded public training courses for IFF. These courses - designed for beginners and junior/intermediate team members in banks, sponsor companies, legal firms and other professions active in the project finance field have consistently received strong praise for their comprehensiveness, clarity and practical approach. Steve also teaches a seminar in project finance documentation which has been recognised by its participants as filling an important gap in training in the sector. As well as these public training courses, he has also developed and delivered tailored in-house workshops across Europe, in the Middle East and in the US for a wide range of banks, project sponsors and other companies active in limited-recourse finance. Steves courses have a strong emphasis on the underlying mechanics of project finance. Few banks or project sponsors have the time or resources to train their staff in the basic tools of the sector qualitative risk analysis, debt structuring and documentation. So training is essentially carried out on live projects. Though this can be effective, it can also be dangerous and is almost always patchy in its coverage. In his training, therefore, Steve aims to distil 30 years of real deal experience into clear, easily-understood units with a strong emphasis on the toolkit and its practical application. Trainees regularly praise the clarity and thoroughness of his presentations and, in particular, the value of his mindmaps and checklists. This distance learning course employs exactly the same approach as Steves taught courses and is a natural extension of his other training work. It has been specifically designed for professionals who cannot attend taught courses, or who prefer to train in this way, fitting their professional development into the other demands of their schedule.

WHAT MAKES THIS COURSE UNIQUE?

Aside from its distance learning format, its the modular tool-kit approach that really makes this course stand out. It will equip you with the perfect synergy between theoretical knowledge and detailed practical understanding that you can implement immediately. The modular nature allows you to grasp all the important concepts before moving onto the next section of content. The material will also prove invaluable after you have completed the course and will act as an essential reference guide in your future project finance activity. In essence, weve taken all the key benefits of our existing courses and combined them to create this unique distance learning programme. Additionally, this is the first course of its kind to be accredited by a leading UK University.

HOW IS THE COURSE STUCTURED?

The course takes place over sixteen weeks and comprises of six core units, followed by two elective pathways which you need to choose between. Every two weeks the next unit will be released and the associated assessment must be completed before the end of the course. The beauty of this form of learning is the investment of time is really up to you. You can simply read each unit, complete the assessment and move on to the next or take more time to fully digest the topic, re-read the units and read around the subject by taking full advantage of the recommended complimentary reading list. For students wishing to receive the Post Graduate Certificate, you will be required to submit a 2000 word assignment based on an on-going case study that runs throughout the duration of the course. This assignment will be independently assessed and if you meet the required pass parameters, you will be awarded a Post Graduate Certificate in Project Finance by Middlesex University.

Explore the impact of the credit crisis on project financing in particular how lenders attitudes have changed.

Unit 2
Qualitative Risk Identification, Analysis & Mitigation (A)

Unit Learning Aims and Objectives Explain the key qualitative risk factors analysed by lenders when evaluating a project financing in this unit particularly sponsor risk, country/political risk, completion period issues and operation & maintenance arrangements. Explore how these risk factors are perceived by bankers, mitigated and (where necessary) allocated to other parties within or outside the project structure.

Disadvantages for Borrowers/Sponsors

Increased complexity (risk identification/mitigation/allocation) Need for third-party due diligence reports Longer time-lines Higher debt costs interest margins & fees Supervision by & reporting to lender group Tighter debt covenants and undertakings
