Our Fundamentals of Business Analysis course is suited to Business Analysts recently placed in the role or to BA’s who have been performing the role for some time but have never received any formal training.

The course is also suitable as an introduction for anyone thinking about moving into the Business Analysis role or for other change management professionals wanting to gain a more in-depth understanding of the role and responsibilities of the BA.

The ‘Fundamentals’ course is aimed at learning real-world business analysis skills that can be used in the workplace. Course delegates should be able to return to their working environments and work as effective BA team members immediately adding value and building effective relationships with business and IT stakeholders.

We want course delegates to be focussed on learning how to do business analysis but as the course material covers one of the ISEB diploma modules, delegates have the option of sitting the Requirements Engineering exam at the end of the course. Alternatively they can choose to sit the exam at a later date when they are comfortable with the learning. The price of the exam is included within the course fee regardless of when or whether you take the exam.

The course is also suitable for experienced business analysts as it:

• Provides a reinforcement session for those BA’s who have been doing the job for many years but have never received formal training

• Provides a ‘standard’ approach to be adopted by teams who might currently be using a mix of different techniques and deliverables

• Can be used as a tool for uncovering and addressing issues faced by existing BA’s or BA teams

• Covers the ISEB Requirements Engineering syllabus in full so is the start point for the ISEB International Diploma in Business Analysis

• Covers other parts of the remaining 3 ISEB modules giving a broad introduction to the qualification but maintaining an emphasis on real-world practice

The course is also suited to individuals embarking on a career in change management, IT or project management, as it provides a useful insight into the project lifecycle and the need for robust requirements and a rigorous and methodical approach.

A team-based case study is used throughout covering all the course modules as well as dealing with:

• User conflicts
• System integration issues
• Changes to requirements/scope
• Business process change
• Organisational change
