Budget Management Training That Actually Works
We started this program because we kept seeing the same problem. Companies had project managers who were great at organizing tasks but terrible at tracking money. Budgets would balloon, stakeholders would panic, and everyone blamed spreadsheets. Our six-month intensive teaches you to prevent that chaos before it starts.

What You'll Learn Over Six Months
We break down complex financial concepts into practical skills you can use immediately. Each module builds on the previous one.
Foundation Concepts
Starts with basic accounting principles that project managers need. We cover variance analysis, cost baselines, and earned value—but in plain English. No finance degree required.
Forecasting Methods
Learn to predict where your budget's heading before problems emerge. We use real project data from past students to practice spotting red flags early.
Stakeholder Communication
How to explain budget issues without causing panic. Practice delivering bad news, justifying overruns, and requesting additional funds with confidence.
Tools and Systems
Deep dive into budget tracking software. We focus on systems commonly used in Thailand's business environment, including cloud-based platforms and integration strategies.
Risk Management
Creating contingency reserves that actually protect you. Learn when to use them and how to justify your decisions to executives who question every baht.
Capstone Project
Manage a simulated project budget from start to finish. You'll face realistic challenges, make difficult calls, and present results to experienced finance professionals who provide honest feedback.
How We Structure Learning
This isn't lecture-based education. We built the program around actual work you'll do on the job.
Weekly Live Sessions
Two evening sessions per week, scheduled at 7 PM Thailand time. Each runs 90 minutes. We keep groups small—maximum 15 students—so you can ask questions without competing for attention.
Case Study Practice
Every third week focuses on analyzing real budget failures. We examine what went wrong, why standard processes didn't catch issues, and how participants could have intervened.
Mentor Check-ins
Assigned finance professional reviews your work monthly. They're people currently doing this job at mid-size companies—not academics. Expect direct feedback about mistakes.
Peer Review System
You'll critique other students' budget proposals and receive critiques of yours. Uncomfortable at first, but incredibly valuable for spotting assumptions you didn't question.
