Private equity training courses

The landscape for the private equity industry has changed, and change always brings potential opportunity.  Debt levels are high in some historic private equity backed investments.  Bank credit criteria are tougher than they once were.  Exits have been difficult for private equity firms.  Investors have been short of cash.  The industry has, to some extent, consolidated. Our training courses explain how private equity works and unpack recent controversies and challenges for the industry.  As part of our training courses we explore how private equity firms structure their investments, how management teams benefit and how private equity firms make money. We also look at the lessons any astute acquirer can learn from private equity about structuring and controlling investments.
