Reviews

4.6

Very interesting topic, documents provided to complete very well structured, cleared and insightful. Also, this is a very relevant topic so glad to have expanded my knowledge. Either way this has been very useful for my development. Really liked the mix of excel and research, thought it was very balanced.

I really liked how practical and realistic the simulation was. The tasks around portfolio emissions, target setting, and renewable energy investments gave me hands-on experience with climate finance concepts. The email format made it feel like real work and helped me improve my professional communication skills.

The Oliver Wyman program gave me a realistic, hands-on experience of consulting work in the climate and finance space. I especially appreciated how it blended technical tasks (like emissions calculations) with strategic decision-making and client communication. The structure was clear, immersive, and helped me understand what day-to-day consulting looks like at a top firm.
