The trainer isn`t explained in a good/easy way. The trainer is very monotonous, and trains in the same tone throughout the training which makes any learner very hard to understand any content. There are training materials which explained things in a way better way.
By Noelle Polley on 9/9/2022
This course taught me the tools and techniques to plan and monitor a business analysis project from the initial stage of ideation to the final stage of acceptance and sign-off. The instructor did a great job of breaking down the material into bite-sized chunks and adding explanations, examples and exercises to reinforce the topics. I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to learn the business analysis planning and monitoring process and is looking to get certified.

This course is great, it is a well balanced course that covers all the necessary topics in business analysis. The instructor is very knowledgeable and professional. He treats the content like a subject he loves and he makes sure that everybody else loves it too. The course is very well presented, organized and delivered. It is a must for every business analyst, even if you are experienced in this field, it will give you a great overview of how business analysis works and what is the role of a business analyst in a company.
