5 DaysFeasibility Studies - Evaluation, Preparation and Analysis Course
The British Academy for Training and Development offers the Feasibility Studies - Evaluation, Preparation and Analysis Course to offer trainees with skills that are realistically necessary in feasibility assessment and informed decision-making. This course offers an insight into preparing feasibility studies, especially the methods of data collection and research for analysing opportunities. In particular, attendees will learn market analysis, demand, competition, and potential risks. The course also develops the knowledge of financial evaluation techniques whereby the attendees measure the cost-effectiveness, returns on investment, and profitability projections. The programme also involves technical feasibility through evaluation of resource availability, infrastructure, and operational requirements. Also, it introduces frameworks of risk analysis and provides resources to identify potential project challenges and mitigate them. Attendees will learn how to assess environmental impacts and to incorporate sustainability in projects. The feasibility study helps the organisations to understand if the ideas or projects being considered for investment are worth investing time, money, energy, and effort. A well-developed feasibility study lays the foundation for project analysis and design activities in a focused manner. By the end of this course, attendees will acquire comprehensive skills in report preparation to avail findings and recommendations in a clear professional manner to the target audience and decision makers.
