In addition to the specific training provided for the use of Optimix, we can provide training on a variety of topics, including:
- The development process
- How to carry out financial appraisals of a development scheme
- The factors underpinning financial viability
Training can be integrated into a wider package of work delivered by Beacon Partnership. This could include training on how to create and interpret financial appraisals as part of training on the use of Optimix or to help embed new policies and procedures developed by Beacon Partnership.

Beacon will be offering free viability training to anyone that is interested in improving their understanding how appraisal models and viability work.
The basic sessions will introduce people to viability in general using excel. During the sessions we will build a basic viability model from scratch that attendees will be free to keep after the session. By the end of the session attendees should understand the assumptions and inputs that feed into a viability model and how they combine to produce and calculate a net present value and other financial indicators.
These sessions will vary each month and will be held at 10am on the last Wednesday of each month and will run for 2 hours.
