Why Choose This Course
BCS Business Analysis Foundation is a vendor-aligned, instructor-led course that introduces core concepts, practices and techniques used by business analysts to support effective organisational change. It is based on the current BCS Foundation Certificate in Business Analysis syllabus and covers the role and competencies of the business analyst, the business analysis service framework, stakeholder analysis, investigative techniques, requirements engineering and business case development. The certification is active and forms one of the knowledge-based modules that can count toward the BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis, making it a recognised starting point for those seeking structured progression.
Learners gain practical value by exploring how to investigate current and target business states, evaluate solution options, and deliver change that aligns to organisational goals. You will use established techniques such as interviews, workshops, observation, document analysis and activity sampling, and learn how to manage stakeholders effectively to reduce risk and misalignment. The training emphasises exam-aligned content with hands-on practice, helping you prepare for certification while building skills that apply to projects across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.
For professionals and teams involved in business improvement, IT-enabled change or product delivery, this course provides a clear framework for defining problems, eliciting and validating requirements, and assessing feasibility and benefits. It also connects foundation knowledge to practitioner pathways such as Business Analysis Practice and Requirements Engineering, supporting longer-term development toward the BCS International Diploma. A certificate of course attendance is included.
