Business Valuation

This course gives you the financial tools you need to make good business decisions. Extending the basic concepts learned in other courses, it also emphasises the application of theory to real business decisions.

You will take corporate finance theories and apply them to real cases, developing a framework to analyse how firms evaluate and fund investment. Each session involves class discussions, sometimes centred on lectures, often on business cases.

The Business Valuation course consists of a study book and computer multimedia program (CD-ROM) that can be used on the learner’s personal computer as well as on the automatic “DOTSENT” system for remote training, allowing entries to the training software to be made from any location that is equipped and which has access to computer networks. The course contains eight parts with interactive lectures and tests.
