About This Learning Path

This learning path develops practical modeling and valuation skills for analysts, managers, and investors who make decisions with numbers. You’ll begin by building your first Excel model from the ground up-framing problems, structuring inputs and outputs, and testing assumptions with sensitivity analysis. Next, you’ll apply forward‑looking techniques such as decision trees, influence diagrams, and scenario analysis to quantify risk and guide high‑stakes choices. From there, you’ll master the fundamentals of valuation: time value of money, discount rates, NPV and IRR, and when to use income‑, market‑, or cost‑based methods. You’ll then build a complete real estate valuation model before moving into applied projects that mirror real client work, including assessing the commercial viability of public infrastructure and evaluating private investments. Throughout, Kubicle’s applied learning model emphasizes hands‑on spreadsheets, clear logic, and model governance so your outputs are transparent, auditable, and ready for stakeholders. By the end, you will be able to design robust models, value opportunities, and communicate recommendations with clarity.
