Our Process
Contact Us
Contact LMS by email or phone and we will undertake an initial ‘needs analysis’. This will identify how we can help and identify a framework for scoping.
Scope Requirement
We will define training target outcomes and focus, understand audience standard and background, define the mix of course theory and practice, clarify any case-study requirements and define delivery timing and structure.
Course Development
LMS will develop tailored course materials according to the agreed training scope. In most cases this includes a course model, course handbook (notes) and a case study. All materials will be retained by client on completion.
Delivery
Course will be presented at the client’s site to agreed timing structure. This vary broadly from a single fixed block of time (e.g. 2 day course) to a regular engagement (e.g. monthly seminar). Post-course support is provided.

Testimonials
‘I recently attended a financial modelling course in London led by Theo West. I was very impressed by the course content and the depth of Theo’s knowledge. I would recommend Theo to any with a need for financial modelling’
‘As an experienced financial modeller I primarily attended the project finance course hosted by Theo to investigate different ways of undertaking common modelling challenges. Theo showed his trainer and technical skills by delivering the course superbly, but also by encouraging an open forum that allowed attendees to make wide-ranging ‘off-course’ queries which he responded to with precise answers and worked examples.’
‘Theo’s training was highly informative and material was presented in such a way that kept participants focussed and interested. He was able to explain complex financial concepts and demonstrate how to model these using simple, logical formulae. Theo is very personable which makes the training interactive and more enjoyable.’
