Business Analysis Training Courses

No project can succeed

If you don’t know what the business issue is and what solution will address it. That’s business analysis 101. It’s not a class you’ll find in a college course directory, but it’s an essential skill set for doing your job.

A charter member of the International Institute for Business Analysis, Systemation was the first company to offer a business analysis curriculum back in the 1980s, and we understand what works. Our courses are intensely practical. You’ll be able to apply what you learn on the job, immediately, to improve project results.

Our business analysis training courses online are designed for all levels of business, and will help you build the 36 competencies described in IIBA®’s A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK® Guide). And since business analysis is an intuitive skillset, acquired primarily through experience, we allocate workshop time accordingly—our business analysis training courses spend 80% on case study exercises and only 20% on lectures.
