Learn from People Who Actually Do This Work
Our instructors aren't career teachers. They're working professionals who spend their days analyzing real financial data.
We rotate instructors based on their current projects, so you're learning methods that work right now in 2025—not textbook theory from five years ago. Most of them live around Canberra and work with Australian companies, which means the examples and case studies reflect what you'll actually encounter.
Classes are capped at 16 people because we want you to ask questions and get proper feedback on your work. This isn't a lecture hall situation.

How the Learning Actually Works
Each week combines short concept sessions with practical exercises using real financial documents. You won't spend hours listening to lectures.
We provide access to actual annual reports, financial statements, and market data from Australian companies. You'll work through the same analysis process professionals use daily.
Between sessions, you get assignments that take around three hours to complete. Most people do them on weekends. You can ask questions in our online forum anytime—instructors typically respond within 24 hours.
Weekly Sessions
Two-hour evening classes (Tuesdays or Thursdays, 6:30-8:30pm) at our Mitchell location. Sessions record if you miss one.
Practical Work
Assignments use real company data. You'll analyze, interpret, and document findings just like in actual professional work.
Feedback Loop
Submit work, get detailed feedback within a week, revise if needed. We care more about understanding than perfect scores.
