GRADUATES
What graduates say
Written accounts from two senior finance professionals who completed the CFA and CFC programmes.
I obtained the CFA and CFC certificates through the ICBC-accredited centre, under the guidance of Dr Mohamed Nureldin — a broad-minded teacher who took us through the material with a scientific and practical method, working from the real published financial reports of major international companies listed on world exchanges. That gave us the ability to work through the financial positions and statements of diverse, multi-sector activities and to identify both expansion opportunities and risks. It was reflected directly and positively in our professional performance and in making considered, well-judged decisions.

The first certificate, the Certificate in Financial Analysis, was a genuine addition to my scientific and practical grasp of analysis, and it showed in my professional performance. The second, the Chartered Certified Financial Consultant, was the same: the curriculum is practical and drawn from real working life. We would go into the websites of major international companies with high financial standing and carry out the research and the analysis. That gave us practical experience we would not have found outside certificates of this calibre. Dr Mohamed Eisa Nureldin is an outstanding teacher of wide learning — his long experience inside and outside Sudan has given him real depth. Discuss capital markets, documentary credits or letters of guarantee with him and you find a precision beyond description, and an enormous ability to frame a point in several different ways. He carries the humility of true scholars.

Konoz Complex is a steel bars, tubes, screws and nails factory established in 2019 on a 64,000 square-metre site in the Safola industrial area of Khartoum. Novel Consultancy & Training assessed the capital required to build and operate the complex's three production plants and modelled five years of revenue, profit and cash flow.
