Finance Training for Real Estate CFOs
As a Finance Director in Real Estate, you deal with cap rates, valuation methods, financing structures and regulatory constraints that a generic finance course won't cover. Here, you get lessons built around your sector: how real estate actually works, who the players are, how it's regulated, and which figures actually drive decisions. You'll pair that with the full general finance track, so nothing is missing from your foundation.
Beyond the lessons, you'll work with interactive tools that let you apply concepts to real cases, an action playbook you can bring straight into your role, and an assessment built specifically for your sector to check where you stand. This is finance training shaped for the deals, the players and the numbers you actually work with every day.

Frequently asked questions
Who is this real estate finance training for?
It targets finance directors and CFOs working in real estate: property companies, investment funds, developers, asset managers. The content assumes you already handle a finance function and want the sector layer on top: cap rates, valuation methods, financing structures and the regulatory constraints specific to property.
How is this different from a general finance course?
A general finance course stops at the mechanics. Real estate finance training adds what those mechanics look like when the asset is a building: how valuation works in property, who the players are along the chain, how the sector is regulated, and which figures actually drive an investment decision. The general finance track is included as well, so the foundation is covered.
Do I need to follow the general finance track before the real estate lessons?
No, the two work in either order. If your accounting and valuation fundamentals are solid, start with the sector lessons on real estate players, regulation and key metrics. If you want to close gaps first, run the general finance track and come back to the property-specific material.
Is there a diploma or certification at the end?
No. There is no diploma, no state-recognised certification and no affiliation with a school or university. Reading is free and open; an account only saves your progress through the lessons.
What does the sector assessment actually measure?
It checks where you stand on real estate finance specifically, not on finance in general: valuation methods used in property, financing structures, the regulatory frame and the metrics that matter in the sector. The point is to tell you which lessons deserve your time rather than to score you.
What is in the action playbook and how do I use it?
The playbook turns the lessons into steps you can apply in your own finance function rather than notes you file away. You use it alongside the interactive tools, which let you run the concepts on real cases: a valuation, a financing structure, a set of sector metrics.
