نبذة عن الدورة التدريبية
The ability to create and understand financial models is one of the most valued skills in business and finance today. Microsoft Excel with Visual Basic for Application (VBA) macros programming has been the dominant vehicle used by finance and corporate professionals in the preparation and utilization of the full range of financial models and other applications. However, as a result of the so called ‘95/5’ rule it can be concluded that 95% of Excel users probably only use a mere 5% of the program’s power.
Most users know that they could be getting more out of Excel especially by using VBA which would result in them being able to build more flexible, dynamic and professional models. Unfortunately, this aspect of Excel and VBA often appears to be complex and intimidating.
This intensive 5 day workshop starts with basics and progresses in a logical step by step manner to the more complex and rewarding tools needed to build more robust models that save time, reduce unnecessary human errors and customize applications hat would be impossible to achieve with suboptimal models. Every section is followed by a direct application related to the financial markets and financial issues.
The course will emphasize some important financial concepts that will assist in building vigorous models. It is designed to give you the information you need without making you wade through cumbersome explanations and endless technical background. Delegates will need some basic knowledge of Excel but not of professional modelling or programming.

American National Standards Institute
Marking 100 years of experience, ANSI is the official U.S. representative to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and, via the U.S. National Committee, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and is a U.S. representative to the International Accreditation Forum (IAF). ANSI accreditation is nationally and internationally recognized as a mark of quality and assures that employers can have confidence that the certificate holder has completed the prescribed course of study. ANSI’s accreditation process itself follows ISO/IEC 17011, the International Standard that defines quality third-party accreditation practices. ANSI’s Certificate Accreditation Program (ANSI-CAP) accredits assessment–based education and training programs against the American National Standard ASTM E2659. The standard establishes guidelines for quality certificate program development and administration, and forms the foundation for a recognition system that enables consumers, employers, government agencies, and others to distinguish between qualified workers and those with less-than-quality credentials.

- عرض:Extremely Intensive course, led by a fantastic dynamic trainer. From Day 1, I was very excited about the course. By Day 5, I was totally blown out by the tremendous possibilities now open to me by using all the functionalities of the Macros/VBA/Power Pivot. A definitely MUST HAVE for all financial experts. -Rogers Aviation, MaputoClaudinette PermalFinance and Admin Manager
- عرض:Great course!!! The whole course was broken down in different chapters and this was structured in very digestible segments. Further, the mix of presented material with hands-on practical hit on all of the key areas. I can take what I learned and start applying it directly to my current tasks. Hamed presented the material with an expert knowledge of the concepts and backed it up with consulting experiences. His technical expertise in the area was reflected in all areas of the course and it was done very professionally. He made a point not only to share theoretical understanding but highlighted both features right & wrong with detailed explaining how to use them in building successful models. Tons of time saved. Complicate things made easy. Thanks, Hamed Great job -Alghanim KuwaitReyaz HussainSenior Analyst – Group Support
- عرض:I use Excel regularly, but the CFM training has exposed me to many more tools in excel, as well as skills in building dynamic models, and detailed financial analysis. This has been made possible by the in-depth knowledge and skills of Hamed, and his hands-on practical approach to the training. -Accra, GhanaNoah TeyeCredit Analyst
