The Learni story

Founded by passionate learning and innovation experts, Learni's mission is to make professional training accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world. Our team operates in major hubs — London, New York, Boston — and internationally, to support talents and organizations in upskilling.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Program

Module 1WACC Fundamentals: Calculating Components and Initial Modeling (CAPM, Cost of Debt, Capital Weights)

Discover the pillars of WACC by calculating the cost of equity via the CAPM model using real betas from listed sectors, evaluating the after-tax cost of debt based on French company examples, determining optimal weights from published balance sheets, building your first interactive Excel sheet for a complete WACC, analyzing the impact of financial leverage on overall profitability, performing practical exercises on concrete growth SME cases, and producing a preliminary report certifying your professional skills.

Module 2Advanced WACC Applications: Optimization, Valuation, and Sensitivity (DCF, Scenarios, Risks)

Put theory into practice with WACC optimizations to minimize the cost of capital by adjusting the financial structure, integrate WACC into discounted cash flows for company valuation via advanced Excel DCF, test sensitivity scenarios to changes in rates and beta, apply real M&A cases with simulated Bloomberg data, develop dynamic dashboards for strategic decisions, assess risks of a miscalibrated WACC using current market studies, and finalize a deliverable ongoing project directly enhancing your certifying expertise in the company.

Evaluation method

  • Multiple-choice quiz validating WACC, CAPM formulas, and tax adjustments
  • Case studies on valuing listed companies with Excel modeling
  • Presentation of the ongoing WACC project to the expert trainer

Learning method

  • Courses led by an expert finance trainer with operational experience
  • Practical exercises based on real company cases and market data
  • Ongoing WACC project over two days with continuous feedback
  • Complete course materials with Excel templates and certifying resources

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
