If you are looking for a thorough grounding in the skills you will need to be an effective Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) practitioner in a corporate environment we can thoroughly recommend the four day Core Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Skills Training Course from The Merger Training Institute. Follow this link to their website:
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Skills Training Course
The four days cover the M&A process front to back:
Day 1 – Finding and structuring deals
Day 2 – Business Valuation
Day 3 – Due Diligence
Day 4 – Post Merger Integration.
We particularly liked that the course modules are taught by a tutor with extensive experienced as an M&A executive inside a company – not a long-term business advisor. This gave a really practical perspective to the training with lots of useful tools he had used in the past. The last day on Post Merger Integration was very good – and in our experience not an area covered in any depth by the other courses in the market.
The course was really good value as well – half the cost of some of the business school offerings – which we have found a bit academic in the past.
