Financial Scenario Modeling Program
Learn to build, test, and analyze financial models that help businesses make confident decisions. Our autumn 2025 cohort brings together practical techniques with real-world applications.
Request Program DetailsHow We Got Here
We started small in 2019 with a simple question: could we teach financial modeling in a way that actually made sense? Turns out, yes.
Founded in Taipei
Three former financial analysts decided to create training that focused on practical scenario modeling instead of theoretical frameworks. Started with weekend workshops in a borrowed conference room.
First Full Program Launch
Expanded into a structured 12-week curriculum. Seventeen students completed that first cohort. Most are still using what they learned, which feels pretty good.
Taiwan Finance Education Recognition
Received acknowledgment from regional business education council for our approach to teaching scenario planning. Also moved into our current Banqiao location with proper classroom space.
Hybrid Learning Model
Launched combined in-person and remote learning options while maintaining hands-on project work. Next cohort starts September 2025 with enhanced curriculum based on participant feedback.
What We've Accomplished So Far
Six years of teaching has given us some perspective. We're not claiming miracles, but we're proud of what participants have achieved after going through the program.
