This course emphasizes systematic evaluation, detailed cash-flow analyses, and tools to measure potential returns under varying conditions. These skills are critical for managing project risks and ensuring optimal outcomes over a project's productive life.

By the end of this training course, participants should be able to:

1. Understand the nature of risk and uncertainty in project management.
2. Conduct detailed cash flow and financial modeling to support investment decisions.
3. Use advanced tools, including Monte Carlo simulations and sensitivity analysis, for risk evaluation.
4. Develop and implement risk management plans throughout the project lifecycle.
5. Optimize project outcomes through effective decision-making under uncertainty.

• Project Managers and Coordinators
• Financial Analysts and Risk Managers
• Investment and Feasibility Analysts
• Engineers and Decision-Makers involved in capital projects

This course employs a combination of interactive lectures, case studies, and practical exercises. Participants will explore real-world scenarios and utilize decision-making tools to develop skills in risk assessment and management. Group discussions and simulations will provide a dynamic learning environment to reinforce theoretical knowledge.
