Capital City Training is a full-service technical training company focused on the banking, wealth management and broader financial services and accounting industries.
We provide engaging, challenging, high quality training across the spectrum of hard technical skills needed in banking, investment banking, fund management and wealth management, as well as coaching and management development. Capital City also provides eLearning and distance learning packages for core skills such as accounting and analysis, financial maths, modelling and valuation.
Our e-learning programs are designed to recreate the classroom experience as closely as possible - with expert tutors explaining concepts clearly, illustrating with examples and then providing delegates with exercises to practice what they've seen, with a full tutor debrief - we all learn by doing! We combine training expertise and highly credible practical experience together to give relevant high impact courses.
Capital’s style is guided by some basic principles of adult learning, namely:
- Adults are task focused, they learn by doing;
- Adults are social, they engage with tasks and assimilate information better when working in a group;
- Adults are competitive.
In all areas of our training, we stimulate and engage delegates through involving them actively in:
- Contemporary, real-world case studies
- Group exercises
- Excel modelling, where relevant
