Programs starting September 2025 will teach you practical techniques that senior analysts actually use—not textbook theory.
Explore Our Approach
Callum Thornbury spent twelve years working through market volatility, building models that held up when things got messy. He's been in the room when forecasts went sideways and taught himself to spot warning signs most analysts miss.
His approach comes from experience, not academia. You'll work with data sets that mirror what businesses actually face—incomplete information, conflicting signals, tight deadlines.
We skip the basics and focus on what makes analysts indispensable when the pressure's on. These are methods you'd usually learn after years on the job.
Each phase builds on practical application. You won't just understand the methods—you'll know when to use them and why.
Eight weeks working with actual business scenarios. You'll reconstruct analyses from companies that faced real decisions and see what worked versus what looked good in presentations.
Twelve weeks tackling increasingly complex problems. Each assignment mirrors situations where standard approaches fail and you need to adapt methodology on the fly.
Six weeks building a comprehensive analysis from scratch. You'll defend your approach to people who've seen every shortcut and know which questions expose weak reasoning.
Real datasets have gaps, inconsistencies, and contradictions. We teach you to work with what you've got, not what textbooks pretend exists. That means learning to document assumptions and communicate uncertainty honestly.
Anyone can plug numbers into software. The hard part is knowing which analysis fits the question and explaining limitations to non-technical stakeholders who need to make decisions anyway.
You'll get feedback from analysts who've made the mistakes you're about to make. They'll show you what to watch for and share the shortcuts that actually save time without compromising quality.
Methodology Specialist
Petra designs the problem sets you'll work through. She pulls scenarios from her time advising firms during restructuring—situations where getting the analysis wrong had immediate consequences. Her background in both quantitative research and operational finance means she knows which skills transfer and which ones just look impressive on paper.
Enrolment for our September 2025 cohort opens in April. If you're serious about advancing beyond basic analytics, we should talk about whether this fits where you want to go.
