Why Choose Us

The Feasibility Studies: Preparation, Analysis & Evaluation Course gives project, finance, and business development professionals a comprehensive, structured framework for preparing, analysing, and presenting feasibility studies covering technical, commercial, organisational, and financial feasibility, options analysis, risk assessment, feasibility report development, and the communication and pitching skills needed to gain buy-in from decision-makers.

Feasibility studies are one of the most consequential deliverables in any project or business development cycle. A rigorous, well-structured feasibility study prevents costly investment mistakes, identifies viable options with clarity, and provides the evidence base that decision-makers need to commit resources with confidence. Yet many feasibility studies fail either because the analysis is incomplete, the financial modelling is weak, or the findings are not communicated compellingly.

This course addresses every dimension of effective feasibility analysis from technical, commercial, and organisational assessment through financial analysis including NPV, DCF, and cash flow forecasting, options generation and selection, risk assessment and response planning, feasibility report development, and business plan pitching through a Dragon's Den-style simulation.

The Feasibility Studies: Preparation, Analysis & Evaluation Course is built for professionals who want to produce feasibility studies that are analytically rigorous, financially credible, and genuinely persuasive — delivering the investment confidence that turns good ideas into funded, approved projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Day 1 covers the non-financial feasibility dimensions, examining how technical feasibility assesses whether a project can be built or implemented, how commercial feasibility evaluates market viability and competitive context, and how organisational feasibility addresses whether the people, competence, and resources needed to deliver and operate the project are available. Delegates develop the multi-dimensional feasibility assessment capability to identify viability constraints that financial analysis alone would miss.  

Day 3 covers project options analysis, examining how project requirements are established, how multiple options are generated and documented, and how a structured evaluation and selection process identifies the most viable option. Delegates develop the options analysis capability to ensure feasibility studies genuinely evaluate alternatives rather than rationalising a predetermined preferred option — the discipline that distinguishes robust feasibility analysis from post-hoc justification.  

Day 4 covers feasibility report development, examining the components of a well-structured feasibility report, how the report integrates technical, financial, options, and risk findings into a coherent, decision-relevant document, and how project planning elements including critical path analysis are incorporated. Delegates develop the report development capability to produce feasibility outputs that are clearly structured, analytically complete, and designed to facilitate rather than complicate investment decision-making.  

Day 2 covers financial feasibility in full, examining cost classification and estimation, non-discounting methods including Payback and Accounting Rate of Return, discounting methods including NPV and DCF analysis, capital spending plan preparation, cash flow forecasting, and required investment calculation. Delegates develop the financial modelling capability to produce investment analyses that are analytically credible and that provide decision-makers with the financial evidence they need to commit capital confidently.  

Risk management within feasibility studies is addressed within Day 3, covering how the risk management process is applied to feasibility contexts, how risks are estimated through quantitative analysis, and how risk response plans are developed and incorporated into feasibility assessments. Delegates develop the risk analysis capability to quantify uncertainty within feasibility findings — building contingency provisions and sensitivity analysis that make feasibility conclusions more honest and defensible.  

The Dragon's Den simulation challenges delegates to present and defend their business idea or feasibility recommendation to a panel of decision-makers in a structured, high-pressure pitching environment — simulating the real conditions of seeking investment approval, funding authorisation, or senior management sign-off. Delegates receive feedback on their pitch structure, communication effectiveness, and ability to respond to challenge questions, building the presentation resilience and stakeholder influence capability that transforms good feasibility analysis into funded, approved projects.
