This course covers the full spectrum of private equity fundamentals and advanced techniques, guiding learners from foundational understanding through to real-world application.

You’ll start by exploring what private equity is, how PE firms and funds are structured, and how capital is raised and deployed. From there, the course moves into detailed analysis of different investment strategies, including growth equity, buyouts, and sector-focused approaches; and how value is unlocked through revenue growth, margin expansion, and multiple expansion.

You’ll learn how to evaluate investments using return metrics like MOIC, IRR, DPI, and TVPI, and gain fluency in how capital structures are engineered and how enterprise value is derived and allocated. The course also walks through deal sourcing, structuring, value creation post-acquisition, and the various exit strategies used to maximise returns.

Each section includes practical frameworks, institutional insights, and technical walkthroughs, including downloadable summaries, interactive exercises, and video-based lessons, all designed to build real fluency in how private equity works from the inside.
