As a Petroleum Economist, this was of immeasurable value. The trainer utilised his practical knowledge to build my competency and I left the training being able to build a model incorporating my own fiscal regime. I am truly grateful

I attended this course as a comfortable/intermediate user of excel, however, I was blown away by the new things that I learned that would make my daily use of Excel more efficient. The materials and templates are also a useful resource for referring back to when attempting to build useful models. The trainer was patient and very knowledgeable and he left no one behind. Thank you for a very insightful course on fiscal regime. I am truly grateful
