01 — The gap
Theory gets you into the room. Judgement keeps you there.
Textbooks explain how M&A should work. Deals rarely follow the textbook. So we took the usual course material and marked it up — the way a lawyer marks up a first draft.
Standard M&A course — draft v1
Comments: G. Rovira
Value the company with a DCF and you know what it is worth.
Value is your number. Price is what someone will pay on a Tuesday afternoon, under pressure, with two other bidders in the process.
More buyers means more competition.
The right three buyers, in the right sequence, create more tension than forty who were never going to sign.
Due diligence confirms the numbers.
Due diligence is where the price gets renegotiated. Prepare for it before the buyer does.
02 — The syllabus
Fifteen sessions, in the order a deal unfolds.
Each session: a video lesson, technical notes, a presentation, case studies and financial models, practical exercises and downloadable templates.

03 — Who it's for
The long-list.
Every sale process starts with a list of buyers who make strategic sense. Here is ours. No prior M&A experience needed — a business or finance background helps.
01
Analysts & associates
In investment banking, PE or corporate development, who want to understand the whole deal, not just their slice of the model.
02
Lawyers & consultants
Who sit at the table and want to speak the language of valuation, structure and price.
03
Finance professionals in India
CAs, CFA candidates and corporate finance teams working on domestic and cross-border transactions.
04
MBA graduates & final-year students
With a business or finance background, aiming for their first deal team.
05
Future CFOs & heads of strategy
Who will one day sign on the buy side — or the sell side — and want to know what they are signing.

04 — A letter from the Program Director
When I started in corporate finance, nobody taught me how a deal really moves. I learned it the slow way — over twenty-five years and more than three hundred transactions, some brilliant, some painful.
Today’s M&A professionals need more than the numbers. They need the strategy, the legal framework and the nerve behind every sentence of a negotiation. I built this programme to give you what I wish I had had on day one: not more theory, but the blueprint.
If you finish it and walk into your next deal a little calmer and a lot sharper, it has done its job.

How long is the course?
15 sessions of around 45 minutes each, plus exercises and templates. Access is unlimited, so you set the pace.
Do I need prior M&A experience?
No. A business or finance background is recommended; the course starts from financial fundamentals and valuation.
Is there a certificate?
Yes — a certificate of completion from the M&A Training Program. It is not an accredited academic degree: the course is taught by an M&A practitioner, not a university. What you take away is practical knowledge for real transactions.
Is it suitable for professionals in India?
Yes. It is taught in English, fully online and self-paced, and the frameworks are the ones used in international and cross-border deals.
How is it different from CFA or an MBA?
CFA and MBAs cover M&A as one topic among many, mostly in theory. This programme is only M&A, taught by a practitioner with more than 300 advised transactions, with real walkthroughs, models and negotiation tactics.
What careers does it prepare me for?
M&A analyst or advisor, corporate finance associate, private equity and VC investment roles, corporate development, and the path to CFO or head of strategy.
Where is the course hosted?
On Teachable, a secure course platform you can access from any device, anywhere.
Are taxes included?
The price is €800. Depending on your country, VAT or GST may be added at checkout, where you’ll see the final amount before paying.
