The business analyst role has evolved from that of a business procedure analyst to that of a business liaison between the non-technical user community and the technical solution providers. This course provides proactive, introductory coverage of the knowledge and skills essential to business analysts today and the foreseeable future.
Delivery Method
This IT Business Skills Series course does not follow the intensive hands-on lab methodology that is used in our traditional system administrator or developer classes. Our IT Business Skills classes have less of a hands-on component and more of a lecture/presentation style delivery.
