View Program DetailsQuestions We Hear Most Often
These are real questions from students who've been exactly where you are now. Some were worried about their English level. Others weren't sure if their visa would allow them to study part-time. A few had never built a financial model before.
Before Enrollment
Will my student visa allow this?
Most student visas in Australia permit part-time professional development courses. We recommend checking with your education provider and reading your visa conditions on the Department of Home Affairs website.
Before Enrollment
Is my English level good enough?
If you're studying at an Australian university, your English is probably fine. Our materials focus on clear explanations and practical examples. We avoid jargon where possible and explain technical terms when they're necessary.
During Program
How much time should I expect to spend?
Plan for about 8-10 hours per week. Some weeks might need more time if you're working on a larger model. Most students find they can balance this with their main studies and part-time work.
During Program
Can I work on projects from my home country?
Absolutely. Many students build models based on businesses or scenarios from their home countries. It actually helps because you understand the context better, and it makes your portfolio more diverse.
Post-Completion
Will this help with work opportunities in Australia?
Financial modelling is valued across industries here — from mining companies to tech startups. It won't guarantee you a job, but it gives you a concrete skill to discuss in interviews and demonstrate in applications.
Ongoing Support
What if I need to pause for exam periods?
We understand that university commitments come first. You can adjust your pace during busy periods. Just let us know if you need more time to complete assignments during mid-terms or finals.

Flexible deadlines during university exam periods and major assessment times
"I was worried my accounting background from Indonesia wouldn't translate here. But the program started with fundamentals and built up logically. By week six, I was building models for retail scenarios similar to my family's business back home. It gave me something specific to talk about in job interviews rather than just saying I'm good with numbers."
How International Students Typically Progress
There's no single path through this program. These are patterns we've noticed over the past few years with students from different backgrounds and study commitments.
Intensive Track (6 Months)
Some students have lighter university loads during certain semesters and can dedicate more time. This pace means finishing before you need to focus on thesis work or final year projects.
- Typically 12-15 hours per week commitment
- Complete core modules by month four
- Final projects often relate to thesis topics
- Start date options: March or August 2026
Balanced Track (10 Months)
Most international students choose this pace because it works around full course loads and part-time work. You can slow down during busy university periods and speed up during breaks.
- Average 8-10 hours weekly, flexible scheduling
- Pause options during exam weeks
- Build portfolio pieces between semesters
- Rolling enrollment throughout 2026
