Overview
What do business analysts do? What skills and competencies do they require to do their role? This 3-day foundation level course provides delegates with a 'whistle-stop tour' of the role of the business analyst who acts as the link between business needs, users and IT within change initiatives.
This 3-day course is fast-paced and through the use of examples and a simple case study introduces delegates to the contribution that a business analyst makes within a business. We also consider the tools and techniques available to business analysts to assist them in their role.
At the end of the course you may sit a multiple-choice examination to obtain the BCS business analysis foundation certificate. This qualification provides a foundation to the BCS international diploma in business analysis and covers the knowledge-based element of the qualification.
This course is suitable for anyone new to business analysis or anyone wishing to understand the role better, but may be preferable for those having already completed courses in the diploma stream and/or have some experience (we also offer a slower-paced 4-day version of the same course which you may be interested in should you prefer a less intense, more thoughtful and more interactive introduction to business analysis).

What students say
We asked our students, "what impact has attaining the BCS foundation certificate in UX had on your job?" here are some of their replies.
"I had never held a position in UX design or research. Once I had the UX certification, I put it at the top of my CV. I got a job as a UX researcher with a london company within a short few months of completing the course. I am certain that holding that certificate had a big impact, because it is the UX job agents that read your CV first, before they put you forward for a role."
"the impact of the certificate has been immense, as it provided me with the technical expertise to execute UX practices properly, but more importantly being able to explain the benefits and value to stakeholders who would otherwise be reluctant. This all led to an opportunity to lead the global UX practice within my organisation which has grown from initially 1 personnel 2.5 years back to over 15 UX practitioners."
"since completing the foundation certificate, I have really begun to appreciate the value effective UX plays in the delivery of the systems that I work on. As a business analyst, it has helped me to be more effective when supporting user research sessions and has brought closer working between the bas and user researchers. I think this course is really valuable and I have recommended it to a number of my colleagues."
"when I did the course last year I was just starting out on a career change. The course gave me a broad view of the whole 'workings' of the user experience and how all the stages fitted together. This gave me a good grounding for the rest of that year of development, which helped me move onto our internship programme as a researcher for the next stage of development in my new career."
"the UX course has altered the way I approach development projects. Iвђ™ve run workshops using the persona development tools exercises, user journeys and storyboards perhaps three times now in order to better inform design, and this is now built into the way I work with clients on new projects. It feels like the quality of the systems created is better for it. This is now a very rewarding part of my job."
"since attending the course, our insights team has successfully sold in and delivered multiple UX services to clients — generating a new revenue stream for us. Since delivering a new innovation to clients was in my goals last year, I can say it went some way to helping me get promoted too."
