Project Finance &
Financial Analysis Techniques
for Infrastructure Projects

The Project Finance & Financial Analysis Techniques Course gives finance, project, and infrastructure professionals a structured, end-to-end framework for evaluating, financing, and analysing major infrastructure projects with confidence and technical precision.

Infrastructure projects involve significant capital commitment, complex risk structures, and long-term financial implications. Getting the appraisal, financing structure, and financial analysis right from the outset is critical — and this course equips delegates with exactly those capabilities.

Across five focused days, delegates work through every stage of the infrastructure project finance lifecycle — from project selection and feasibility appraisal through cash flow estimation, financing structures, and advanced financial evaluation techniques including NPV, IRR, DSCR, and sensitivity analysis.

The Project Finance & Financial Analysis Techniques Course is built for professionals who need more than a theoretical understanding of project finance — they need the analytical tools and practical frameworks to make sound financial decisions on complex, high-value infrastructure investments.

This Course is designed to develop the financial analysis, appraisal, and decision-making capability required to evaluate and structure infrastructure projects effectively from inception through to financial close.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify and evaluate major infrastructure projects against national and organisational objectives
• Explain the principles of project finance and the role of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs)
• Conduct technical, feasibility, environmental, economic, and financial analysis for infrastructure projects
• Apply Cost-Benefit Analysis distinguishing between financial value and economic value added
• Forecast project cash flows and apply PERT to manage uncertainty in cost and duration estimates
• Use probabilistic, statistical, correlation, and regression techniques to estimate and evaluate project costs
• Analyse cash flows using spreadsheet-based financial modelling skills
• Evaluate equity and debt financing structures including recourse, non-recourse, bonds, guarantees, and letters of credit
• Calculate the cost of finance and assess financing structures for infrastructure project schemes
• Apply capital investment appraisal techniques including Payback, ARR, NPV, IRR, ROE, and DSCR
• Conduct sensitivity analysis, simulation analysis, and financial risk management for infrastructure investments

The Project Finance & Financial Analysis Techniques Course is designed for finance, project management, and infrastructure professionals involved in the appraisal, financing, and financial management of major capital and infrastructure projects. This course is suitable for:

• Project finance professionals structuring or evaluating infrastructure investment schemes
• Finance managers and analysts responsible for capital project appraisal and financial modelling
• Infrastructure project managers involved in feasibility studies and investment planning
• Government and public sector professionals evaluating value for money in infrastructure procurement
• Treasury and corporate finance professionals working with project debt and equity structures
• Investment analysts assessing the financial viability of infrastructure and capital projects
• Project planners and cost engineers applying financial analysis techniques to major projects
• Professionals working toward or maintaining PMI certification requiring professional development units

The Project Finance & Financial Analysis Techniques Course is delivered through a structured, analytically focused learning approach that progresses logically through the full infrastructure project finance lifecycle. Each day addresses a distinct stage from project selection and appraisal through financing structures and advanced financial evaluation.

Spreadsheet-based financial modelling, case studies, and real-world infrastructure project examples are integrated throughout to ensure delegates can apply every technique covered directly to their own work.

Delivery methods include:

• Instructor-led sessions covering project finance principles, appraisal frameworks, and financial analysis techniques
• Feasibility and appraisal workshops applying technical, economic, environmental, and risk analysis to infrastructure scenarios
• Cash flow forecasting exercises using PERT and probabilistic analysis to handle project uncertainty
• Spreadsheet modelling sessions building practical skills in cash flow evaluation and financial analysis
• Financing structure workshops examining equity, debt, recourse, non-recourse, bonds, and guarantees
• Cost of finance calculations applying real project financing scenarios to develop analytical confidence
• Capital appraisal technique exercises working through Payback, ARR, NPV, IRR, ROE, and DSCR calculations
• Sensitivity and simulation analysis sessions developing financial risk management capability for complex infrastructure investments

• AZTech Certificate of Completion for delegates who attend and complete the training course
• The applicable PMI Professional Development Units/Contact Hours will be reflected in the Certificate of Completion
