A new Approach to Business Analyst Training
As well as providing Business Analysts with the key skills to effectively contribute to business change projects, our business analysis training courses coach delegates in a ‘way of thinking’ and analysing that delivers the right result first time with minimal cost and maximum benefit. We also focus on the Business Analyst’s responsibilities as a change facilitator throughout the whole of the project lifecycle - from scoping through to implementation.

We have a regular public schedule of the following courses:

It builds confidence and provides an ideal introduction to the role of the Business Analyst. The focus of the Fundamentals course is on learning real-world business analysis skills that can be applied back in the workplace. However, the course also covers the whole of the BCS Requirements Engineering syllabus, so this exam can be taken at the end of the course, or at a later date during one of our public exam days. This allows delegates to focus their attention on learning. This course is also formally accredited by the IIBA and can be used to count towards the CBAP qualification |
