But I dived deeper into the industry and realised that it is not at all necessary to write code to start a career in IT and become successful. And that was the point where I started my journey as a Business Analyst in IT and now I’m really happy about it.I’ve worked in IT over 8 years now, constantly conduct technical and nontechnical interviews for business analysts, take mentorship over Business Analysts of different levels and constantly see the gaps in knowledge and in many cases they lay in understanding of the basis or core foundational concepts of Business analysis and understanding of a Business Analyst role. So I used my own experience and personal observations to create a set of cources in order to provide structured information and build up good understanding of business analysis in IT and close those gaps. This course was designed to explain core foundational concepts of Business Analysis which is absolutely essential to know and what is more important – to understand as it will become a solid and correct basement to build your skills on, shape you as a professional and lead to a successful career.Main advantages of a BA position that I marked for myself:- Great salary growing with your seniority;- Very dynamic and interesting work;- A huge inexhaustible field for challenges and self-development;- Modern approach towards way of working which makes you love what you do even more.What will you learn on the course?· The fundamentals and key concepts of Business Analysis;· Who an IT business analyst is;· What a Business Analyst does specifically to maximise the value from an IT product for the organisations;· The most popular tools and techniques a business analyst utilises to perform the job;· Top skills of a business analyst;· And what is more important, I provide recommendations for possible ways and steps to take to get the knowledge required for an IT Business Analyst and provide some advice on how to gain experience not actually being employed as a Business Analyst.I can’t wait to see you on the courseWho this course is for:People who are new to the role and want to get a Business Analyst position and start their unique and rewarding path in ITStudents eager to learn about job opportunities in the field of Business Analysis in ITNew Business Analysts willing to improve their knowledgePeople who currently work in IT on other positions and want to understand the BA role better
