Trainings by EM Advisory · 2026 Catalogue

Training built for the boardroom, not the textbook.

Three intensive 2026 programmes in investment appraisal, corporate tax, and downstream petroleum, taught by practitioners who advise Africa's ministries, banks, regulators, and CEOs.

The 2026 Catalogue

Three flagship
programmes. One philosophy.

Practical, expert-led, built around real African projects. Choose a programme that matches the decisions you actually make.
Why Attend

You can read the theory. Until you defend it in the room where it matters, you haven't really learned the work.

01

Built by a working advisory firm

Our faculty walk into your classroom from a ministry meeting or a transaction close. The case studies are projects we've actually appraised, structured, or argued in front of regulators.

02

Pan-African by design

Built around real African projects — from Ghana's downstream sector to East African PPPs — not generic case material lifted from a US business school.

03

Practitioner-led, Africa-grounded

Sessions are led by people working directly with institutions, regulators, investors and operating companies, so examples are current, local and commercially realistic.

04

Practical artefacts, not handouts

You leave with the working Excel models, the templates, and the checklists you'll re-use on Monday morning, plus a recognised professional certificate.

05

Mentorship beyond the classroom

When a real project lands on your desk after the programme, our advisory team is still a call away. The relationship doesn't end with the certificate.

06

Cohort, not commodity

Small, curated cohorts of senior public-sector and private-sector peers. The conversations between sessions are often as valuable as the sessions themselves.

The Faculty

Taught by the people who actually do the work.

Our facilitators are working advisors, practitioners, and industry leaders across finance, tax, public policy, law, energy, and economic strategy. They bring doctoral, master's, professional, and executive credentials from Queen's University, Oxford, Durham, Sheffield Hallam, and Ghana's leading professional bodies.

Across every programme, the emphasis is the same: practical judgement from people who have advised institutions, shaped policy, led industry bodies, and solved the messy problems that formal frameworks rarely capture.
