Overview

Business Analysis

A structured path into one of the most in-demand roles in tech and business. You'll learn to discover and document requirements, model them with UML, prioritize with MoSCoW and Kano, and validate solutions with UAT — the exact skills that move you from analyst-curious to job-ready. The program ends with a capstone where you present a complete mini BA project.

Final project

You present a complete mini BA project — problem definition, requirements elicitation, models and documentation, and a proposed solution — the exact artifact that proves you're ready for the role.

What you will learn

  • Understand the BA role, the SDLC, and where you fit
  • Apply elicitation techniques to gather real requirements
  • Analyze, model, and prioritize requirements with confidence
  • Document in BRD, SRS, and user-story formats
  • Use BA tools — Visio, Draw.io, Jira, ClickUp, Figma
  • Validate solutions with UAT and measure business value

Who it's for

  • Aspiring business analysts breaking into the field
  • Developers, testers, and PMs who want formal BA skills
  • Project coordinators bridging business and technical teams
  • Professionals who want a role with strong demand and no direct local competition

FAQ

FAQ

Is business analysis in demand?
Yes, and locally there's no direct competitor training for it — most competition is general or online. This program is built specifically to make you job-ready.
Do I need to code?
No. BA sits between business and technical teams. You'll model and document systems, not build them — though the skills pair well with technical roles.
What do I walk away with?
A portfolio-ready capstone, reusable templates (BRD, SRS, UML), and hands-on practice with the tools teams actually use.
