About this course: Finance is for “Non-financial Managers” who want to understand key financial principles and apply them in a real-world context. Over the course of the program window, you will work your way through a series of nine modules that move from understanding basic financial principles to applying financial analysis and ratios to drive decisions. In addition, each module is capped with an ending self-evaluation to ensure that you have absorbed the following key learning objectives: + Understand the language associated with finance + Know how and when to use financial terms and analysis techniques + Read and assess company performance using financial statements + Recognize the link between organizational strategy and financial objectives + Use "the numbers" to your best advantage to make more informed decisions
Who is this class for: This course is appropriate for professionals within any functional area who have limited knowledge and/or experience with finance and who need to enhance their financial acumen. Such knowledge enables managers and leaders to ask more meaningful questions, to assess the financial implications of decisions, and to be better equipped to make informed strategic choices. The online program format is for working professionals who prefer the flexibility of an online program or who cannot dedicate time for our on-campus two-day program. Participants should have working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and understand basic financial calculations.

very helpful course. allowed me to have a clear vision, and better understand finance from a company´s standpoint
This training was very clear and gave me some tools to understand the financial language
Very practical and useful, to know more about the projects and the costs that this involves in each stage, the return and the planning for each action that should be taken
