Faculty who are in the market right now.
Every instructor at Berkshire holds an active role in PE fund management, audit, or compliance. Their deal experience is current, verifiable, and the foundation of every course we offer.
Built to close a real skills gap
Berkshire was founded by working PE professionals who saw the same gap repeatedly: finance teams with solid fundamentals but no fluency in fund structures, LP reporting, or audit-readiness under regulatory scrutiny.
No case-study curriculum fills that gap. Only instructors currently operating in these structures can. That conviction is the school's founding rationale—and it has not changed.
Credentials from the deal room, not the classroom

Institutional rigor. No distance from the work.
