We are very proud to launch the Real Estate Financial Modelling certificate in partnership with Cambridge University.

This online course has been put together exclusively for the Real Estate Financial Modelling certificate, using state of the art digital resources such as animations, video-steps, digital whiteboard and video-interactions as well as the spreadsheets, text based resources and tutor contact you would expect from any of Bayfield Training’s classroom based courses. Assessment is in the form of a guided model build exercise and written model appraisal.

A Real Estate Financial Model is the abstract representation of a Real Estate Investment Scenario.

Building a Real Estate Financial Model requires three things:

  1. Knowledge of what you want to model (Theory),
  2. The formulae to build the relationships in the model (Maths),
  3. The tool to create complex model quickly (Excel).
