Chartered Financial Modelling
Professional CFMP with me, Duncan

00:00:06.100 --> 00:00:10.033
Williamson introduction to the course.

00:00:10.033 --> 00:00:13.399
This course is in ten sections,

00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:20.066
ten lessons, and it's what I call
a toolbox approach to financial modelling.

00:00:20.066 --> 00:00:23.199
What that means is there's a wide array

00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:28.400
of different techniques, functions,
formulas, ideas that we're going

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:33.466
to follow,
but nowhere am I going to try to present

00:00:33.466 --> 00:00:38.799
an entire financial model
for several reasons.

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:45.000
Firstly, it's not interesting to build
a model such as that over a ten lesson

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.466
course and pretend that it's going
to be interesting the whole time.

00:00:48.466 --> 00:00:50.199
It can't be.

00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.466
Secondly,
because of the things that you learn

00:00:53.466 --> 00:00:59.266
in the course, they get too complicated
and then people get dispirited.

00:00:59.266 --> 00:01:01.799
So when the course starts to fall away,

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:06.666
which it will do, if you try
and do a whole model from startup,

00:01:07.466 --> 00:01:09.899
then it gets dispiriting

00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:12.133
So it's a toolbox

00:01:12.133 --> 00:01:14.599
It's a high quality tool box.

00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:17.066
I lead you through every element,

00:01:17.066 --> 00:01:23.066
every step of the way and by the end
of the course you will have how many?

00:01:23.066 --> 00:01:29.232
75, 100 new functions,
many different techniques and things

00:01:29.233 --> 00:01:34.266
that you probably can only find
here and not in any other course.

00:01:34.266 --> 00:01:40.732
So come along, enjoy and good luck.
