Cost-Benefit-Analysis Workshop - EOI Only

A few individuals missed out on the last 'Introduction to Cost-Benefit-Analysis' workshop, so we are opening up for Expressions of Interest. Register below if you would like to be notified about the next event. 

If you are interested in an 'Intermediate / Advanced' workshop, please also express this in the registration. 

About the workshop (Introduction level)

Cost Benefit Analysis ('CBA') is the preferred tool to support government decision-making for major projects, policy proposals and, in many cases, a mandatory requirement for expenditure approval.

Introduction to Cost Benefit Analysis is an in-person one-day course that provides a grounding in CBA principles and tools for anyone writing, reading, reviewing, or commissioning CBAs.

No prior knowledge of CBA or economics is required. A brief pre-reading pack and participant pre-survey will be sent out beforehand to ensure course content is tailored  to attendees' needs. The day will build participants' competency with worked examples, hands-on exercises and contemporary case studies.
