Vlad,
As Adrian has said - we would offer a course that I think will meet your needs:
| Fundamentals of Business Analysis Training Course (ISEB Part I) |
The course
is aimed at junior or trainee business analysts with little or no
experience, or up to about 18 months experience. However, more
experienced Business Analysts have attended the course and found it
extremely useful in consolidating and focusing their skills and
knowledge.
The course is also suited to trainees
embarking on a career in change management, IT or project management,
as it provides a useful insight into the project lifecycle and the need
for robust requirements and a rigorous and methodical approach.
For
delegates interested in achieving their ISEB Business Analysis
qualification, there is an optional fifth day of training which covers
the remaining parts of the Requirements Engineering syllabus followed
by an open-book exam. This is one of four modules required for the
qualification.
Business Analysis Course Objectives
By the end of the course the Business Analyst will be able to:
- Integrate
into a project or team environment with an understanding of their role,
key responsibilities and relationship with fellow project members
- Work with business users to gather and document different types and levels of requirement
- Work with business users to define, scope and initiate a project
- Break-down complex business scenarios or problems into process and data models
- Validate requirements by producing Use Cases and assess requirements against defined quality criteria
- Apply end-to-end thinking to complex business and system problems to ensure ‘right first time’ documentation and solutions
- Work with business users and delivery teams to develop optimum solutions to defined requirements
- Confidently present findings to business users and their project team
OPTIONAL EXTRA DAY: Having
done the Fundamentals course, delegates are in an excellent position to
‘top up’ their knowledge to a sufficient level to sit the ISEB Certificate in Requirements Engineering.
This certificate is concerned with approach to requirements definition
and its focus is on using a systematic approach to eliciting,
analysing, validating, documenting and managing requirements. The cost
for this extra day is £300 inclusive of the exam fee.
Attendees of this course may go on to attend our Advanced Business Analysis course
in order to achieve their ISEB Business Analysis diploma. Delegates who
already hold the Requirements Engineering Certificate will not need to
attend that part of the course.

Case Study
