Why Choose This Course
Fast Start in Business Analysis is an instructor-led course aligned to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK) that builds core capabilities across analysis planning, stakeholder engagement, requirements elicitation, modelling, and solution evaluation. It is designed to give new or aspiring business analysts a structured foundation and practical, hands-on techniques they can apply in projects across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, and Perth.
The course introduces a complete view of the analysis lifecycle, from defining business needs and scope through to documenting requirements and facilitating validation with stakeholders.
