When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

This course provides a foundational yet comprehensive introduction to the principles, processes, and practical tools used in project finance—a financing technique critical for large-scale infrastructure, industrial, and development projects. Designed for beginners, the course guides learners through the unique structure of project finance transactions, emphasizing how projects are evaluated, funded, and made financially viable through standalone cash flows and risk-sharing mechanisms.

Learners will begin by identifying key terms, stakeholders, and structures of project finance. They will then demonstrate the ability to estimate capital costs and evaluate project feasibility across technical, commercial, and financial dimensions. Through detailed analysis, they will also differentiate between traditional and non-traditional sources of financing, examine risk mitigation strategies, and interpret important financial ratios such as DSCR, IRR, and ROI to determine the long-term sustainability of projects. The course combines conceptual lessons with practical quizzes and case-style evaluations to enable learners to confidently analyze and assess real-world projects using project finance methodologies.
