Why we

• First, ours is a network of financial trainers. Unlike typical event producers who are commercial organisations with virtually no background on the topic under consideration, we are trainers ourselves. We understand what your needs are and we understand in-depth the topic that you want us to train your executives on. You will find a lot of difference between talking to us and talking to a typical event producer.
• This also explains why our courses are cost effective for you. You are not paying for the profits of the event producers..
• Since we understand the topic and the audience both, we may, in fact, help you to tailor the course outlines too, which is something that a typical event producer will never be able to do. In short, you are not talking to a sales professional - you are talking to a teacher.

Not surprisingly, therefore, we are forerunners in training on specialised subjects in finance.

Feedback of some of our attendees

• Participants on Secured Lending Course, IFCI: "An excellent and enriching program that shared intricate details about SARFAESI ACT and other recovery mechanisms." The program scored an overall rating of 4.56 on a scale of 5.
• An in-house client, a leading Australian bank: "Just a quick message to say how pleased we were with the outcome of the three sessions you gave. Given the vastly different audiences and levels of knowledge, I think based on my personal observations and comments from participants that you achieved a greatly increased understanding of the
  product."
  
• Uschi Phuah, Straits Lion, Singapore: "Presenter has very good knowledge; very patient too."
• Kelvin Leong, Malaysia Rating Corporation: "A walking library! Excellent knowledge-base"
• Tatsaya Imade, UFJ Institute, Japan: "Great person, education with philosophy".
• Teo Kok Liang, Mizuho Corporate Bank.: "Very knowledgeable and has provided me a good foundation in securitisation know-how"
• Name suppressed, Bank of Finland, Helsinki: "Vinod definitely knows his stuff!".
• Peter Van den Heever, Nedcor Investment Bank, South Africa: "Excellent insight and knowledge of the subject and most insightful 2 day session".
• Anon: "Given his non-practitioner background, his knowledge on ABS is outstanding, may even exceed that of practitioners"
• Francia T Manlapaz, SEC, Philippines: "He has mastery over the subject matter".
• Letitia Chan, J P Morgan: "Vinod is very knowledgeable and professional
• Chan Peng Fun, ABN Amro: "Very knowledgeable. Able to convey in simple way"

Everyone is unique, and so are we. However, it is important to understand that ours is a network of financial trainers and we are experienced trainers ourselves. 

Here are some of the C's to our Credit

• Comprehensive: All our courses are comprehensive: we cover every aspect of the subject to give to the participant a thorough and all-pervasive insight.
• Clear: Our faculties are well known for their clear communication. We make a special request to all our faculties to be as down to earth as possible.
• Case studies: We spend substantial time discussing recent case studies. We have a substantial base of case studies covering recent innovative deals.
• Contemporary: Our faculties make a special effort to deliver stuff which is contemporary. We constantly update ourselves with what is happening around.
• Carry-away stuff: For each course we run, we prepare presentation material, which is comprehensive, painfully prepared for the course.
• Competitive: Our pricing is fairly competitive compared to other international faculties.

We do discuss live case studies. Practicals or exercises depends on the nature of the course.

We have a comprehensive base of case studies specifically designed for our courses. We select representative cases highlighting a new idea, new application or a new structure. Most of our cases are fairly recent.

We maintain a network of high profile highly competent financial trainers. They are academicians or practitioners. We will be willing to share the faculty profile based on specific interest.

What are the typical fees we charge?

This depends on the level of the course and the faculty fees. By way of an estimate, the fees may vary between Euro 1000 to Euro 3000 per day of time spent. Time spent includes time in travelling. For a basic level workshop, the minimum fee may be Euro 2500, and for an advanced course, Euro 6000. This is apart from reimbursement of actual expenses.

How many faculties/ trainers will be travelling?

Generally one.

How do we ensure audience satisfaction?

Our past performance does this. In the past, well over 75% of the participants have consistently rated our courses are excellent.

What equipment do you require?

Usual presentation devices - a computer projector. Mostly we would bring along our own laptop, but should it be required, you might have to arrange for one.

What is the typical size of the audience?

Upto you - from 25 to 40. But we would suggest you should cap it to 40.

I have more questions.
