Course Description:

Many people are interested in becoming Business Analysts. It’s a great profession- offers decent pay, entry into the global tech market without the need to code…

But most become confused as soon as they start. There are so many terminologies and methodologies! How do they all fit in? More importantly, what really does a Business Analyst do? What does the role entail in a practical sense? How would a Business Analyst approach a project from start to finish?

Having trained several BAs over the past few years, Olumide Adeleye decided to make a self-paced course for complete newbies. Before you invest in a more elaborate course, you should start with this!
