Differentiation: The focus of this training is not on project financing (e.g. financing of large investments by credit institutions)

The training conveys the contents by means of short presentations on the background and practical examples. The important topics are worked on and deepened in small groups. You can also bring in your own project situations.

It is easier to transfer what you have learnt into everyday life if you can clarify any questions that arise or receive further support with regard to your own project. Therefore, two personal online coaching sessions of 1.5 hours each are included in the training. The coaching has to be utilised within three months of the course.
