Infocus International Launches Online Masterclass on Power & Infrastructure Project Finance

Infocus International Group has launched the Power and Infrastructure Project Finance online course and it will be commencing live on 1st June 2021. Throughout the five sessions of the course, you will be able to create a bankable project finance structure in terms of risk allocation and the commercial and financial structure.

Project finance is widely used for large infrastructure projects ranging from roads and bridges to oil and gas and renewable energy projects. The structuring technique is very versatile and enables project risks to be allocated to the parties best able to manage them – which facilitates the raising of long term debt with recourse to the project developer limited to its initial investment commitment.

The correct allocation of risk through an appropriate commercial structure is the foundation of a sound financing plan and this course will develop these themes by walking through the commercial contracts and finance documentation and provide an understanding of how to determine the optimal amount of debt using cash flow and ratio analysis. Current project financing circumstances from around the world will be discussed though case study exercises.

Investment committees need to be sure that all risk aspects have been studied and the course will detail the key elements of the due diligence exercise. The course will also provide a guide on how to approach the debt market.

On completion of this course, you will understand:

– How power and infrastructure projects are structured and financed
– How to identify project risks and mitigation strategies
– The role of the financial model and cash flow and ratio analysis
– Debt sizing techniques
– Project finance term sheets and loan documentation
– Contract documentation
– The due diligence process
– How to efficiently identify viable project prospects
– How to approach the debt market

This online course is interactive using a combination of presentations, case studies and exercises. Questions and discussion are encouraged to gain useful practical business insights. Subject to preserving confidentiality, you are welcome to seek solutions to live situations.

Infocus International to Finalise the Registration for Public-Private Partnerships (P3) Live Online Masterclass

Infocus International Group has launched the Public-Private Partnerships online course and it will be commencing live on 5th May 2021. Throughout the eight sessions, you will be mastering PPP project analysis, financing, contracts & transaction management techniques.

We need new infrastructure. Roads, airports, schools, hospitals and housing: the list is enormous and growing. Yet severely limited budgets, economic uncertainty caused by volatile commodity prices, and deficits continue to prevent government at all levels from delivering the kinds of structural change that has always been needed. In response, some countries have developed successful PPP programmes. Merely grasping the concepts of PPP does not do justice to our great responsibility of having an ownership in the country’s future. We already know what we need to do, now is the time to really discover HOW.

Course Highlights

– PPP policies, strategies, laws & units for implementing successful PPP transactions
– Identifying & selecting appropriate projects for PPPs
– Models for analyzing PPP projects
– Managing & completing PPP feasibility studies
– Financing techniques for PPP to ensure long-term PPP bankability and affordability

– PPP stakeholder management & sustainability techniques
– Managing long-term PPP contracts for ensuring service delivery, price regulation, and dispute resolution

This online workshop features rigorous new interactive methodology that require attendees to demonstrate their understanding with each module’s practical techniques and learning outcomes. Every 10-15 minutes throughout each session, you will be required to complete either focused review questions for selecting among a range of PPP decisions, or brief group exercise assignments. You should be prepared to actively participate, and not merely to “watch & listen” video presentations.

As a result of actively engaging in this program’s methodology, you will be able to make practical decisions on PPP strategies, projects, and transactions for your organizations following the workshop’s completion.
