Feasibility Study Professional (CFSP) - CSOBM Certification
A five-day programme on preparing and defending feasibility studies to a professional standard, covering study preparation and governance, market and commercial analysis, technical, regulatory and organisational analysis, financial modelling and evaluation, and risk, reporting and professional review.
Introduction
Feasibility Study Professional (CFSP) - CSOBM Certification Training Course builds the professional study capability that analysts, project developers, and investment professionals need to prepare and defend feasibility studies at a certification standard. Feasibility work fails in predictable ways. Scopes are unclear, market evidence is thin, costs are optimistic, and risks are never quantified. Each failure survives into the approval file and returns during execution. This course develops the discipline that removes those failures before approval. It covers study preparation, market and technical analysis, and financial evaluation. Furthermore, it applies cost estimation, financing structure, and option appraisal. In addition, it develops risk assessment, reporting, and professional ethics. As a result, participants produce studies that meet a recognised professional standard.
