The Academy for Everyone

The Excel in Property Academy is split into a monthly membership and one-off courses, designed to support you on your property journey from graduate to partner.
‍
Our free membership tier is designed to launch you into your career, going through fundamentals of Excel, Real Estate, Valuation, Finance, and Career Advice. It's perfect for those just starting out, who want to improve their basic skills but aren't ready for a hard financial commitment yet.

If the membership isn't for you, then you can immerse yourself in our flagship Real Estate Investor: Discounted Cash Flow course, or one of our advanced add-on courses.

The DCF course will guide you through Excel, Real Estate and Valuation before enabling you to generate dynamic unleveraged property cash flows and perform in-depth investment return analyses. Our advanced courses turbocharge your new-found analyst skills unlocking the secrets of leveraged cash flows, promote terms, and insightful sensitivity analysis.

The best part of the training was the videos. I really loved the fact that I could rewind and watch all over again. It helped and gave me more time to understand. There is nothing more to say than thank you!

How long do I have access to the course materials?

Forever! As soon as you sign up, you will gain access to the portal with the pre-recorded training videos and workbook. However, the main support programme and Modelling Test is time-bound, so we recommend you complete the course during this period to get the most out of your training.

When are the live sessions? What if I can’t make them?

Live session timings will be added to the portal and subject to our expert’s diaries. But don’t worry if you can’t make them, everything will be recorded so you can access them once they have been uploaded to the portal.

How do you provide support during the training?

You can join our monthly hot seat calls where you can ask us questions or listen and learn from other people's questions. You'll find the link and dates of the hot seats within the community portal. Got questions outside the hot seats? Fire away in the portal, and we'll get back to you ASAP.

If I want to improve my excel skills, but not necessarily in property, should I take this course?

This course will help improve your excel skills as we cover various shortcuts, formulae and uses of Excel, however, the benefit of our Real Estate Analyst course and supplementary courses are that they focus specifically on using excel to model property transactions.

Do I have to buy all 4 courses?

No, you can buy each course individually, however, some bonuses are only available if you buy all 4 courses at once.

My company is going to pay for me to do the course – is there a fact sheet or more information I can share with them?

You can access a fact sheet with some more information about all of our courses here. If you or your company has any additional questions, then please send us an email toand we’d be happy to help!

I’ve got to ask, what’s with the elephant in the room?

What elephant? Kidding, Elliott is our mascot, and he’ll pop up at various points during your training. When you spot her during any of the training courses or live sessions, you’ll be in with a chance of winning prizes, so keep your eyes peeled. PS Elliott is irrelephant to the teaching, but we wanted to make a training you will never forget!
