Building Financial Confidence Through Team Learning
When people work together on financial concepts, something shifts. You're not just memorizing terms or following formulas. You're testing ideas with peers who challenge your thinking and help you see blind spots you'd miss on your own.

How We Approach Financial Learning
Most finance courses feel like reading a textbook alone at midnight. We tried something different based on how professional teams actually function.
Peer Review Sessions
You'll present your analysis to other learners who ask the questions you didn't think to ask yourself. It's uncomfortable at first but it's where real understanding happens.
Scenario Work
We use actual cases from Australian businesses facing genuine financial decisions. No made-up perfect examples where everything works out neatly.
Group Problem Solving
Teams of three tackle weekly challenges with incomplete information and competing priorities. Much closer to what work actually looks like.
Teaching Approach
Led by Practitioners, Not Theorists
Our lead instructor Sloane Fitzpatrick spent twelve years in corporate finance before realizing she preferred teaching to spreadsheets. She structures sessions around the mistakes she made early in her career and the patterns she wishes someone had shown her sooner. Expect direct feedback and zero tolerance for financial jargon that obscures rather than clarifies.
Meet The TeamWhat Collaborative Learning Actually Means
It's easy to say "work together" but harder to create conditions where collaboration genuinely improves outcomes rather than just dividing tasks.
Structured Debate
Argue opposite positions on financial decisions with evidence requirements
Rotating Roles
Each session you take different team positions to understand varied perspectives
Peer Teaching
Explain concepts to others which forces clarity in your own thinking
Shared Projects
Work on case studies where success depends on everyone's contribution
How The Program Unfolds
Our autumn 2025 cohort runs for sixteen weeks starting September. Classes meet twice weekly with project work between sessions.
Foundations Phase
First four weeks focus on financial statement analysis and how to read between the lines of company reports. You'll work with real annual reports from ASX-listed companies.
Decision Making Phase
Weeks five through ten cover budgeting decisions, forecasting under uncertainty, and resource allocation when you can't fund everything. Teams manage simulated business units.
Integration Phase
Final six weeks combine everything into complex scenarios that require both technical skills and team coordination. Groups present recommendations to peer panels who evaluate feasibility.
