Advanced Business Analysis (35 IIBA® PDUs)

Hi there! 
This course is designed for practitioners with a few years of experience who want to become
significantly better
at business analysis.
I've been doing business analysis for more than a decade, and I've seen what works and what doesn't work and how the theory from popular industry books and frameworks (such as the BABOK® Guide) applies to real life scenarios. In the course, we will follow
the structure of the Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge®
(BABOK® Guide) and will discuss it in detail and augment with real-life examples from different industries, mock applications and walk-throughs.
This course will help you
build a holistic understanding of business analysis
knowledge areas, learn
all the techniques
from the BABOK Guide, and form an opinion on what good business analysis looks like.
The knowledge gained in the course will help you
prepare for a much sought for certification
- Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP®). You will get the theory and practical skills to apply business analysis in a variety of contexts. Business analysis offers a variety of skills that can be easily transferrable- you will benefit from them as a project manager, a change manager, an operations specialist, an architect or a strategist.
As a bonus, you will get
CBAP® sample exam
questions with detailed explanations of the answers to test your knowledge before going for a real exam.
I hope you'll enjoy!
Have fun.
Igor.

"Igor is obviously professional and I respect his effort to deliver his knowledge to other people in a understandable manner. BABOK is pretty complicated and it is essential that such people as Igor help other learn it in a proper way. Thank you so much."
— Yaroslav
☆☆☆☆☆
"Igor is an expert in his field and it's a joy to learn from him - he is humble, engaging, clever and thorough, and it reflects in the course."
— Philipp
☆☆☆☆☆
"I took this course to prepare for the CBAP exam and not necessarily to learn more about Business Analysis, and yet I learned a ton. I have been a BA for over 10 years (for a small company), and I learned what I was doing correct, what I could improve on, and all the things that I've been told which are incorrect. This course was amazing and enlightening! Igor brings a 'realistic' approach to the course and takes time to personally explain any questions you might have throughout the course."

This course is an updated and refined version of my previous course - Full business analysis study guide. This one is primarily designed for established professionals seeking to attempt CBAP certification level; and as such can be considered a next stage after completing the previous one. However, taking the previous course is not a pre-requisite.
———————————
The course is
100% aligned with the Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK® Guide)
- the key standard explaining the business analysis profession. Created by the IIBA, it is probably the best and most comprehensive guide into all the knowledge areas, hard and soft skills required to become a successful business analyst.
In addition to the Guide, IIBA offers a set of professional certifications for business analysis professionals:
The Entry Certificate in Business Analysis™ (ECBA™) which tests foundational knowledge on how to approach business analysis according to the BABOK® Guide
The Certification of Capability in Business Analysis™ (CCBA®) which recognises your 2 - 3 years of experience and tests the ability to take on larger and or more complex project responsibilities
The Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP®) which tests your extensive (5+ years) business analysis experience and in-depth knowledge of the profession. The CBAP® recipients are recognised as the leading, senior members of the BA community.
This course provides with enough information to pass any level of certification above, and is specifically designed for the hardest and most rewarding level -  Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP®).
But more importantly, it will help you
become a better business analyst.
