Course description

This course is designed for practitioners with a few years of experience who want to become significantly better at business analysis.

​

I've been doing business analysis for more than a decade, and I've seen what works and what doesn't work and how the theory from popular industry books and frameworks (such as the BABOK® Guide) applies to real life scenarios. In the course, we will follow the structure of the Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK® Guide) and will discuss it in detail and augment with real-life examples from different industries, mock applications and walk-throughs.

​

This course will help you build a holistic understanding of business analysis knowledge areas, learn all the techniques from the BABOK Guide, and form an opinion on what good business analysis looks like.

​

The knowledge gained in the course will help you prepare for a much sought for certification - Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP®). You will get the theory and practical skills to apply business analysis in a variety of contexts. Business analysis offers a variety of skills that can be easily transferrable- you will benefit from them as a project manager, a change manager, an operations specialist, an architect or a strategist.

​

The course is 100% aligned with the Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK® Guide) - the key standard explaining the business analysis profession. Created by the IIBA, it is probably the best and most comprehensive guide into all the knowledge areas, hard and soft skills required to become a successful business analyst.

​

In addition to the Guide, IIBA offers a set of professional certifications for business analysis professionals:

• The Entry Certificate in Business Analysis™ (ECBA™) which tests foundational knowledge on how to approach business analysis according to the BABOK® Guide

• The Certification of Capability in Business Analysis™ (CCBA®) which recognises your 2 - 3 years of experience and tests the ability to take on larger and or more complex project responsibilities

• The Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP®) which tests your extensive (5+ years) business analysis experience and in-depth knowledge of the profession. The CBAP® recipients are recognised as the leading, senior members of the BA community.

​

This course provides with enough information to pass any level of certification above, and is specifically designed for the hardest and most rewarding level -  Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP®).

​

But more importantly, it will help you become a better business analyst.
