Documentation in Project Finance

In this course, we’ll look at project documents – overview and types. First, we’ll cover finance, security and support documents. Next, we'll cover rating agencies. The debt rating agencies are important in many project financing. We’ll also cover the loan syndication process and finally wrap up with a scenario where you’ll learn how to bring a distressed project back to life. This course is part of the New York Institute of Finance’s popular Project Finance and the Public Private Partnership Professional Certificate program.
