Project Valuation and Investment Feasibility Training Course
1Summary
Before a company commits real money to a project, it needs a clear answer to one question: is this actually worth it? This Project Valuation and Investment Feasibility Training Course by the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy walks participants through the financial tools used to answer that question — from net present value and internal rate of return to full technical and marketing feasibility studies.
The course covers how project valuation works in practice: the factors that affect it, how a project’s financial status can change over time, and the methods used to assess it, including return on maturity, return period, and how responsibility and impairment are handled. Participants also explore the investment side directly — how investment opportunities are studied, how feasibility studies are built, and how a project moves from final evaluation through implementation to the transactions stage.
