Real Projects. Real Analysis. Real Experience.

Student projects at becoraiqora aren't hypothetical case studies pulled from textbooks. They're actual financial analysis challenges that mirror what analysts face in Sydney, Melbourne, and across Australia every day. You'll dig into company reports, question assumptions, and build valuation models that actually make sense—not just pass an exam.

12 Weeks of intensive project work in 2025 cohorts
3-5 Team members per analysis group
8+ Hours of mentor feedback per project

Questions You'll Actually Answer

We've organized the most common questions students have by where they are in their journey. Because wondering "what happens if I miss a deadline" is different from wondering "should I even apply."

1

Before You Start

  • Do I need prior finance experience to handle project work?
  • How much time outside of class sessions should I expect to spend?
  • Can I work remotely if I'm not based in Sydney?
  • What tools and software will I need access to?
2

During Your Project

  • What happens if my team disagrees on valuation approaches?
  • How often can I get feedback from mentors?
  • Can I change my company focus mid-project?
  • What if I get stuck on financial modeling techniques?
3

After Completion

  • Can I use my project in job applications and portfolios?
  • Will I get access to mentor networks after graduation?
  • How do I explain my project work to potential employers?
  • Can I continue updating my analysis with new data?
4

Ongoing Support

  • Do you host alumni project showcases or review sessions?
  • Can I audit new cohorts to see updated techniques?
  • Is there a community for past students to share insights?
  • How do I stay current with analysis methods after graduating?

What Students Actually Built

These aren't perfect. They're real projects from the 2024 cohort—with all the messy learning, revised assumptions, and breakthroughs that come with genuine analysis work. Students picked companies they were curious about and spent weeks figuring out what those numbers actually meant.

Mining Sector Comparative Analysis

Completed by Sienna Blackwell & Team - August 2024

Three mid-cap Australian miners, similar market positions, wildly different valuations. The team spent six weeks unpacking cost structures, production forecasts, and commodity price assumptions to understand why the market valued these companies so differently.

Retail REIT Valuation Challenge

Completed by Fergus Thornbury - October 2024

Shopping centre ownership in 2024 is complicated. Fergus built a property-by-property analysis of a major REIT, questioning occupancy assumptions and trying to figure out what "post-pandemic retail recovery" actually means for long-term cashflows.
