Finish the RVA Certification, then complete these steps within one of the time windows in the table above:

LinkedIn Post: publish an honest post (≥40 words) sharing your learning/takeaways and tag Renewables Valuation Institute.
Certification on LinkedIn: Add your RVA Certification to the Licenses & Certifications section of your profile (details in the FAQ below). Optionally, you can also include “RVA” after your last name (example: Jane Doe, RVA) to highlight your credential more visibly.
Public Visibility: Make sure your post and Licenses & Certifications entry are set to Public so we can verify completion.
Course Review: leave at least one review (2–3 sentences minimum) on your favorite completed course. You can do this directly in your student dashboard after finishing a course, or by clicking the review link in the completion email you’ll automatically receive upon course completion.
Referral: refer a colleague or friend. The per-referral % and max count depend on your time window.

Example (30-day fast track):
Post (10%) + Certification on LinkedIn (10%) + 2 Referrals (40% each) = 100% earn-back.

*Days from Enrollment*	LinkedIn Post & One Review	Certification on LinkedIn	Per qualified referral	Max referrals counted	*Max earn-back*
30 days	10%	+10%	40%	2	100%
60 days	5%	+5%	30%	3	100%
90 days	-	-	25%	4	100%
180 days	-	-	20%	5	100%

Days from Enrollment — choose one window. Complete all steps you would like to claim a refund for within that window. The timer starts at your purchase timestamp.

Cap: Never more than 100% of tuition paid (excludes taxes, fees, and FX/bank charges).

Not combinable with the 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee.

📌 Important: Earn-back applies to the first subscription payment only. See the next FAQ for details on renewals and the lifetime option.

No. The earn-back program applies only to your first subscription payment:

If you choose the Quarterly or Annual plan, you can earn back up to 100% of that initial tuition payment. Your plan will then auto-renew at the locked-in rate unless you cancel before renewal.
If you prefer to earn your tuition back without any recurring payments, select the Lifetime plan, which is a one-time payment only.

This ensures the program is fair, transparent, and sustainable — while still giving you the opportunity to make your first enrollment or even full lifetime access effectively free.

To claim your RVA Certification on LinkedIn, follow these steps:

Go to your LinkedIn profile. Scroll down to the Licenses & Certifications section and click the “+” icon to add a new credential.
Fill in the fields as follows:
- Name: Renewables Valuation Analyst (RVA) Certificate
- Issuing Organization: Renewables Valuation Institute (select our logo when it appears in the dropdown)
- Issue Date: Select the month and year shown on your certificate.
- Expiration Date: Leave blank (No expiry).
- Credential ID: Copy the Certificate ID displayed on your official certificate (e.g., dojbfk7bsn).
- Credential URL: Paste the certificate verification link from your certificate page (the URL we provided).
Save. Once saved, your certification will appear in your Licenses & Certifications section with a clickable credential link, just like in the example.
Optional: To highlight your credential more visibly on LinkedIn, you may also add “RVA” after your last name in your profile (e.g., Jane Smith, CFA, RVA).

A qualified referral is a new student who:

Enrolls into the RVA Certification Program under one of our three plan options (Quarterly, Annual, or Lifetime) directly on our website.
Can be matched to you by the full name or email you provide.
- Tip: If your friend or colleague enters your name in the “How did you hear about us?” field at checkout, this makes matching easier — but it’s not strictly required.
Is not you, not the same household, and not a corporate/group seat.
Does not refund within 30 days of their purchase.

Important rules:

If someone else has already claimed that same student/purchase as a referral, it will not count again.
A referral only counts if the purchase date falls inside your 30/60/90/180-day window.
You can only claim up to the max number of referrals listed in the table above for your window.

Submit one claim after you’ve completed all steps for your chosen window (30/60/90/180 days).

Email: [email protected]
Subject: Earn-Back Claim - [Your Name] - Order #[xxxx]

Attach/include (proof must be live at review):

Screenshot of your RVA completion/certificate.
URL to your LinkedIn post.
Screenshot showing the RVA Certification added in Licenses & Certifications on LinkedIn.
Screenshot of one course review (2–3+ sentences).
For each referral you’re claiming: include the person’s full name or email so we can verify that
- They enrolled in the RVA Certification on one of our three plans directly on our website, and
- No refund was requested within 30 days of their purchase. (If another student already claimed that same referral, it won’t count again.)

What happens next (one payout only)

Two possible paths:

1. No referral (one-step process):

We review your submission right away.
Payment is released to your original payment method within 5 business days.

2. With referral(s) (two-step process):

Step 1: We mark your claim Pending – Referral Verification (30 days). The 30 days is counted from the latest referral’s purchase date.
Step 2: On Day 31, you must send us a short confirmation email (we do not reply to your first submission until then):

Subject: Earn-Back – Day-31 Confirmation – [Your Name]
Body: “My Earn-Back referral(s) have cleared 30 days with no refund. Please process my payout.”
After we receive your Day-31 Confirmation and successfully verify that your referrals have not claimed a refund, we release your single payout within 5 business days.

We do not reply to the first email. Your claim stays Pending – Referral Verification until you send the Day-31 Confirmation.

👉 Important: If a referral does not qualify (refunds, outside window, duplicate claims, or unverifiable), we simply deduct that portion and pay the rest.

Quick examples

Example A (no referral, one-step process):

You purchase on April 5 and complete all required steps within 30 days.
You email your claim on May 3.
We review and pay out by May 8 (within 5 business days).

Example B (with referral, two-step process):

You purchase on April 5 and complete all required steps.
Your friend enrolls on April 20.
You email your claim on April 25 → we mark it Pending until May 25 (30 days after your friend’s purchase).
On May 25, you send your Day-31 Confirmation.
We process and release payout by May 30 (within 5 business days).

Caps & rules (for clarity):

Max 100% of tuition paid (after discounts). Taxes, bank, and FX fees are excluded.
Applies to your first subscription payment only (Quarterly/Annual auto-renew at your locked rate unless you cancel). Choose Lifetime for a one-time payment that you can make effectively free.
Not combinable with the 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee for the same purchase.
Anti-fraud: we may request additional evidence and will decline inauthentic/self/reciprocal referrals.

Yes. For Yearly and Lifetime plans, we offer a 30-day, put-in-the-work money-back guarantee. If you genuinely engage with the program and it isn’t a valuable step for your career, we’ll refund you—subject to the eligibility below.
Note: The Quarterly plan is cancel-anytime and not eligible for refunds. Single-course purchases are also not eligible.

What are the exact eligibility criteria?

We are very confident in the quality of our content and know from experience that we’ve helped many students gain the confidence and skills necessary to advance in their careers. If we see that you have truly put in the work and are still not satisfied, we are willing to give you a refund—because most people who commit to the process see a noticeable acceleration in both skillset and confidence at work.

To qualify for a refund under our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee, all of the following must be met:

Plan & purchase
- You purchased the RVA Certification Yearly or Lifetime.
- Not applicable to Quarterly or single-course purchases.
Your request is made within 30 days of purchase.
No access to final model lessons (strict)
You must not open or access any lesson that contains a final model file (solar, wind, or hydro).

- This includes the final lessons in the following courses where the final model file is attached:
  • Excel DNA for Project Finance Modeling
  • Advanced Renewable Energy Financial Modeling
  • Expert-Level Project Finance Modeling for Renewable Energy
  Important: Opening any of these lessons even once voids the guarantee because the file becomes available to download. We verify lesson access and downloads in our backend.
You completed at least 50% of one of the three core courses above.
- Include a screenshot of your student dashboard showing ≥50% completion.
- Note: the test-prep courses—How to Pass a Project Finance Modeling Test and How to Ace the Toughest Project Finance Modeling Tests—do not count toward this requirement.

Email [email protected] within 30 days with subject “RVA Refund Request – Order #XXXX”.
Attach a screenshot showing ≥50% completion of one qualifying core course.
Confirm you did not download any final model templates (we verify this in our backend).
We’ll review and, if eligible, process within 10 business days back to your original payment method. Access will be removed when processed.

Why do you require 50% completion?

Because we want you to experience enough of the program to make a fair call. The guarantee is designed to encourage real progress—and protect our community from abuse—while still keeping your decision risk-free.

The RVA Certification Program includes 50+ hours of video content, plus additional time for hands-on financial modeling, case studies, and practical exercises.

To earn the RVA Certification, you’ll complete the required core curriculum (the courses that form the certification standard). Most students finish the core track in 3 to 6 months, depending on their background and weekly time commitment. This pacing gives you enough time to actively build, review, and truly understand the models—rather than rushing through the material.

The program is fully self-paced and can be accessed via a quarterly or yearly subscription, or through a lifetime access purchase, depending on the plan you choose. Many students prefer the yearly plan because it provides the most flexibility to learn at a steady pace, revisit lessons, and optionally continue into specializations (such as BESS or interview-style modeling tests).

Once earned, the RVA Certification does not expire, regardless of how you access the program.

Yes. As part of the RVA Certification Program, you can download final financial models, templates, and supporting files from the following courses:

Excel DNA for Project Finance Modeling
Advanced Renewable Energy Financial Modeling
How to Pass a Project Finance Modeling Test
How to Ace the Toughest Project Finance Modeling Tests
Expert-Level Project Finance Modeling for Renewable Energy
Deal Lab: BESS Project Finance Modeling
Financial Model Template Package

In addition, modeling-based courses include checkpoint model files at the end of major chapters. These checkpoint files allow you to follow along seamlessly and continue building the model even if you miss a step in the video lessons.

Important note on refunds

Downloading final financial models from any of the following courses:

Excel DNA for Project Finance Modeling
Advanced Renewable Energy Financial Modeling
Expert-Level Project Finance Modeling for Renewable Energy
Deal Lab: BESS Project Finance Modeling
Financial Model Template Package

voids the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Downloading checkpoint files or other non-final learning materials does not affect refund eligibility.

It is recommended to be familiar with Microsoft Excel before taking this program. However, all shortcuts and each financial modeling step will be explained in detail, including used shortcuts. Although this course teaches and covers very advanced modeling skills, no previous expert knowledge of Microsoft Excel is required. All you need to know you will learn in this course!

Absolutely not! The macros taught are written in the Microsoft Excel coding interface VBA. The macro lessons will be taught at a slow pace so that each student can follow all instructions easily. No previous knowledge of VBA is required, and all necessary macro essentials are taught in the course.

Yes! You can access the program whenever and wherever you are! All video courses are accessible online.

The RVA Certification Program is unique because it is built around how renewable energy and energy storage projects are actually modeled, structured, and evaluated in practice—not around simplified templates or academic examples.

Rather than teaching isolated concepts, the program focuses on end-to-end financial modeling and decision-making, combining foundational theory with institutional-grade application.

What sets the RVA Certification apart:

End-to-End, Real-World Modeling:
You don’t just learn individual concepts—you build complete project finance models from inputs through cash flows, debt structuring, and equity returns.
Institutional-Level Complexity, Explained Clearly:
The models reflect real transaction structures (including reserves, sculpted debt, downside scenarios, and storage-specific dynamics) while remaining transparent and usable.
Deal Labs and Practical Case Studies:
In addition to structured courses, the program includes Deal Labs—such as the BESS Project Finance Modeling Deal Lab—that walk through how real deals are structured and communicated in professional settings.
Renewables and Energy Storage Focus:
All content is tailored specifically to renewable energy and battery storage projects, rather than generic corporate finance or infrastructure modeling.
Designed for Professional Use:
The final models are built to be robust, flexible, and intuitive, allowing you to adapt them for interviews, investment analysis, or on-the-job application.

By combining structured learning, hands-on modeling, and real transaction logic, the RVA Certification equips you with skills that go beyond “knowing Excel” and instead focus on thinking and working like a renewable energy finance professional.

If you have a team of 3 or more interested in enrolling in the Renewables Valuation Analyst Certification Program, we’d be happy to assist with a customized offer tailored to your business needs. Please reach out to our customer support team at [email protected] to discuss further.

Upon completion of the RVA Certification Program, you’ll receive:

A professional certificate of completion.
A designation as a Renewables Valuation Analyst (RVA).
Lifetime validity of your RVA Certification (once unlocked). Even if your subscription ends, your RVA designation and certificate remain yours forever.
