Business Analyst Certification –  Live Projects

All businesses are built based on several aspects: planning, organizing, hiring, marketing, and many more. Also, it is safe to say that these aspects are not a one time process, they work in a loop to achieve the organizational goal. 

As much fascinating as it may sound, running a business is a complex and, at times, an overwhelming task. Enters: Business Analyst. 

Business analysis is the pedestal that helps the business stand, grow, and thrive. Therefore, we offer this business analyst course to everyone who is looking forward to shaping a career as a business analyst. As a business analyst, your role would be to simplify problems and requirements, align the business with changes, and remodeling processes to get better results. 

Thus, considering the above points and several specific key points, the training concentrates on concepts like UML (Unified Modeling Language), SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle), QA (Quality Analysis), and many more. Along with that, for those who aspire to become an IT Business Analyst, our experts teach all about the IT terms, software requirements, and software testing. 

By the end of this project-based business analyst certification training, you will be able to explore new opportunities in the sector and work as a certified Business Analysis professional anywhere you want.

Business Analysis comprises a wide range of concepts that are necessary to learn and apply. Thus, in this training, you will learn them all: both theoretically and practically. 

What all Business Analysts should know

All Business Analysts have expertise in one or more aspects of their work. Having said that, there are some aspects that every Business Analyst shall master. That is what this online training aims to do, to teach the analysts about:

• Modeling Tools.
• Project ATM and its usage as a Business Analyst. 
• JAD (Joint Application Development) and its protocols. 
• Detailed concepts of Health Insurance.
• Financial Statements: creating and auditing.

Basics

As this course is beginner-friendly, the trainers make sure that you as a learner get to start from scratch and then go forward. Thus, it covers: 

• Responsibilities of a Business Analyst.
• Project Management. 
• Quality Analysis. 
• Problem-solving techniques.
• Unified Modeling Language.
• Methods to gather information and data.
• Documentation.

Management

The core of all the business processes, including analysis, is effective and efficient management. This business intelligence analyst ensures that you know how to:

• Work within the Project Management Framework.
• Perform Scope Management. 
• Manage time with the help of various techniques to ensure the business activities occur within estimations. 
• Execute Cost Management procedures with the use of Life Cycle Costing and Value Analysis. 
• Undertake measures to manage and audit the quality of the products, services, and processes of the business. 
• Carry out preventive actions to manage risk and rule out any chance of loss (of any kind) to the business. 

Information Technology-based Analysis

Learners with an interest in both administration and technology may want to pursue a career as an IT Business Analyst. For them and other analysts, this training is a great opportunity to learn:

• IT jargons and terms. 
• Methods to improve the quality services of the IT Department.
• How to understand the IT requirements of the business.
• Ways to implement and install quality proof and efficient IT systems so the business stays updated in terms of technology. 

As you move towards completion of this project-based training, our instructors have planned several assignments to make it easier for you to assess what you have learned and key areas where you shall work the most as a Business Analyst.

While there are several specific details that only a Business Analyst can know, the skills and knowledge required to become an Analyst is something that mostly revolves around basic aptitude, observation, and problem-solving skills. Therefore, if your job profile is surrounded by any aspect of a business, we suggest you take action towards solidifying it by enrolling in this online training. 

However, you must enroll in this training if you come under any of the following categories or are someone who is:

• Aiming to work as a Business Analyst in a business, or an NGO, or a government body. 
• A professional wanting to learn a wider aspect of business changes. 
• An Entrepreneur wanting to understand and grow business in a manner that has lower risks than several others. 
• Looking forward to a transition into a new profession associated with analysis, such as a Business Intelligence Analyst.
• Fascinated by the practical approach and would like to gain real-time, hands-on experience as an analyst. 
• Interested in either of these: IT, Finances, Management, Marketing, or Analytics. 
• A budding professional wanting to enhance the resume. 

We understand this online training requires your time and efforts, and you must be wondering why to put those two in here. Although, the content outline of the course speaks for itself, here are some more reasons to why you should learn Business Analysis: 

Open Doors

While the title or job position through this training will be a Business Analyst, the skills and knowledge are far more wide and diverse than simply analyzing. Thus, with this online training, you become more applicable and suitable for newer opportunities. 

Flexibility

All job positions come with the job description. Similarly, so does the position of a Business Analyst. However, the catch with being a Business Analyst is that the person in this role micromanages; also, they get to work with all authorities at all managerial levels. Thus, this training leads to job prospects that are flexible and independent. 

It Will Lead to Better Cha-Ching!

Yes, it is as simple as that. With all the fascination and challenges that come in the way of business analysis, the people involved with it earn the matching amount. 

It is Not Monotonous 

Learning can get repetitive and even boring, at times. Having said that, this Certified IT business analyst has been designed while making sure that does not happen. There are several new things, practical lessons, and hands-on experience for you to keep focused in the long run.

• As the course is beginner-friendly, no prior knowledge is required. 
• A dedicated approach to learning. 
• A little knowledge about working in business and few terms should help. 
• No technological background or knowledge is required to learn the IT aspects of business analysis.
