Associate BA - whats next? 

Hello All,

Firstly, I would like to thank all members of 'Modern Analyst' community for this wonderful efforts to provide knowledge to entire analyst user group.

 

Currently, I am Associate Business Analyst and I have a year of experiance. In the past, I have done 2 internships for about 3-6 months. However, I had an unemployement after I did my MS in Information Systems from May 2006 to May 2007. Now that I have finished a year with this company, I would like to expand my knowledge so that I can grow my career ahead. Could anyone suggest any exams for BA or any material that I can selfstudy from job perspective? Last Fall, I completed 'Certificate in Applied  Project Management' course from Boston University corporate learning and I was planning to give CAPM (certified Associate Project Manager) exam. However, I am not sure if that will be worth giving to enhance my career as BA.

Overall, I would like to go ahead in my career by expanding my knowledge but I am clueless where to start. I would like to change my job however before doint that, I would like to make sure that I get enough to right in my Resume if I choose to be a business analyst.

I appreciate your help in advance.

Hi GNP,

Since you already took project management courses from Boston University you might consider doing the same in business analysis - especially if you had good experience with them.

Here is a link to their "Business Analysis Certificate" program:

There are other great training providers out there such as: EBG Consulting who will give you a discount if you are a ModernAnalyst.com member.

Thank You Adrian.

I appreciate your help. However, I have few questions here:

1) Is there any other exam I can take after finishing this course or self study?

2) As I said earlier, I was considering giving CAPM. Will that help me in my BA career?

Have you looked into the IIBA's CBAP ?


Remember there's no I in team... (but there is an M and an E)

Yes BrazilianBA. I have looked at it several times. However, I dont fulfil the requirements in order to qualify for that exam. I was searching for exams similar to CAPM in BA field. But seems there arent any. You just have to grow with your experiance.

Thanks,
GNP

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
