Question 10

Will I have something to demonstrate to employers after the program?

Accepted Answer

The focus is on capability, not just classroom knowledge. You learn Business Analysis by applying it to realistic problems, creating relevant artefacts, working through delivery scenarios and developing the thinking expected of a practising Business Analyst.
