The BA Guide’s TEACH, SHOW, DO technique
This course makes use of The BA Guide’s TEACH, SHOW, DO technique – a method I’ve developed over my years of experience in the industry training and managing Business Analysts. This technique will help ensure you with total comprehension of the topic at hand and maximum information retention long after the course is finished.
TEACH – You first learn the concept, in detail, from the ground up. But I won’t simply teach you the concept in isolation – you’ll learn HOW and WHEN to use it too.
SHOW – Once you fully understand the concept, we enhance that by walking you step-by-step through real-world examples – so you can see exactly how the concept would pan out if you were to apply it in the real world.
DO – Firmly cement everything you’ve learned so far and put your new knowledge to the test by completing the included activities and quizzes. Validate you’ve fully understood the concept and greatly increase your ability to retain the information you’ve learned.
“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn” – Benjamin Franklin
What bonuses are included?
Of course, anyone who has studied one of my courses before will know, it simply wouldn’t be a course by The BA Guide if I didn’t include some value-packed bonus material!
As well as teaching you the fundamentals of these eight modeling techniques, you’ll also gain access to the following modeling templates that you are free to download and use for current and future projects:
SWOT Analysis Template
Scoring Matrix Template
Stakeholder Map Template
RACI Matrix Template
Org Chart Template

Jeremy Aschenbrenner
Come learn with more than 750,000 students from around the world!
Hello! My name is Jeremy Aschenbrenner, but many know me better as The BA Guide, and I'm happy you are here.
I’m a veteran Business Analyst with thousands of projects completed throughout my career. I've managed business analysis projects for companies in diverse industries including health care, telecom, automotive, transportation, consumer packaged goods, car rental agency, food and beverage, financial services, consulting, and more.
Through personal experience, I quickly learned that business analysis can be confusing and even intimidating. There’s endless business jargon, technical terms, techniques, and methodologies to learn, and countless visual diagrams, artifacts, elicitation sessions, interfaces, and KPIs to wrap your head around. I’ve been there and learned all of that. Many years ago, I also learned a valuable lesson about myself: I really enjoy teaching others. This was the inspiration for The BA Guide.

Really great course covering all the fundamental principles with plenty of opportunities to practice.
By Sandhya Sivasubramanyam on 7/20/2026
It was good. But feels like it can be shortened without losing value. Apart from that, it's a good learning
By Abdul Shakeel Ahamed A on 6/29/2026
Yes—business analysis modeling techniques play a critical role in understanding processes, especially in complex business or audit environments.
By Antonio Logan on 4/20/2026
Jeremy presents concepts well and has sufficient practical exercise to drive home and tie in the presented concepts.
By Anna Milentive on 3/12/2026
Clear explanations with examples and practice exercises to ensure understanding.
By Lisa Steven on 3/8/2026
It's very early in the course but so far the explanations have been clear and the information is useful. Also I like the pace - not too fast or too slow. I might change my rating to 5* by the end but at this early stage it's a 4 and I'm happy with my purchase.
By G Ragathushara on 2/22/2026
It was quite detailed and very informative... Looking forward to more such courses
By Joy Ojji on 2/17/2026
The course has been very informative, practical and easy to follow. I will indeed find the skills learnt useful as a Business Analyst and be able to add value to any project in the future.
By Shawn Cox on 2/9/2026
The instructor breaks down everything and makes it easy to understand. I feel confident about my skills as a business analyst.
By Sarah Osborn on 12/30/2025
Overall, really wonderful and thoughtful way to break down and go through a very large topic. Everything is stated clearly in a way that makes sense, and the slides make it easy to follow along with the module. The instructor does a great job of explaining something multiple ways, and then also finding a realistic example to illustrate the topic in action. There are a couple sections where something is referenced that isn't there. For instance, there's a student activity mentioned for the Process Flowcharts module, but there is no actual student activity.
