associations in England.

Design & Content
Design:
The course is designed with an emphasis on practical use of
the CAPACITY model. It is computer based with participants
using their own laptops (or sharing one between two if so
desired).
Real but disguised RSL case studies are used to illustrate
the forecasting routines and the financial analysis package.
The seminar also demonstrates the support facilities of the
CAPACITY website. If time allows participants can ‘de-bug’,
study and review their own RSL’s own data,
if available
For
this reason attendance is limited to a maximum of 16.
Content: Based on surveys of the requirements of
recent participants the course content is as follows:
1/4 day introduction to main functions of the CAPACITY model
1/2 day on understanding the analysis
1/4 day on data issues and the use of sensitivities &
scenarios
Anyone interested in Excel-based financial modelling should
consider our course on Business
Planning Models for HAs.

Pre-requisite Knowledge / Experience

course is for anyone who is likely to come into contact with
the CAPACITY model. Any experience of the CAPACITY model is
useful but not a necessary pre-requisite : absolute novices
are welcome.
