Business Analyst

Business Analyst Certificate
Time: Blended Format
Dates, times, and fees appear below in each course description.

Business analysts, in the generic sense, serve as the link between the business interests and the technology that will be employed to deliver the functionality required by it. They are responsible for translating business needs into language that systems analysts can turn into a solution, for framing the problem and identifying the most appropriate solution. They keep the project focused on the needs for which it was initiated. They are often charged with gathering documenting and testing requirements, especially in software development and implementation projects.

The foundation for the four course certificate is the six knowledge areas of the International Institute of Business Analysis’s (IIBA) Guide to the IIBA Body of Knowledge (BABOK):
