Business Analysis Training Courses for Business Analysts leading to the ISEB Certificate and Diploma

Weekday Courses

Metadata Training's weekday Business Analysis courses are either three-day or two-day in the case of Organisational Context or Modelling Business Processes with BPMN. We normally start at 9:30am on the first day finishing at 5:30pm. The second day runs from 9am to 5:30pm and the last day starts at 9 AM and normally finishes with the ISEB certificate exam at 3:30pm (on 2 day courses normally the exam is taken at 4:30pm). Courses normally run Monday to Wednesday or Wednesday to Friday.

We provide refreshments and lunch on all our courses. Please tell us if you have any special dietary requirements.

You will receive a copy of the British Computer Society book “Business Analysis” edited by Debra Paul and Don Yeates. This can be sent out as pre-reading when you register. The book provides a really useful background to the Business Analysis Essentials and the Requirements Engineering courses. We provide a full set of course notes, including 2 case studies. One case study is used to illustrate business analysis examples, and for the other you will develop answers in small teams throughout the course. The  same illustrative case study is used through all our courses so you will build up a picture of how these business analysis techniques can fit together to form a full business analyst’s toolkit.  After each practical session we supply a suggested answer, compare it with your answer, and discuss alternatives.

Delegates normally take the ISEB Practitioner Certificate Exam at the end of the course. We regularly run exams for our weekend candidates in our office in North London - if you prefer to have a little more time to consolidate your knowledge and try out our practice ISEB exam papers then we can arrange a later time with you.

The following four courses are currently offered:

After delegates have passed the first four individual certificate exams, they are eligible to progress to the next level -- the ISEB Diploma in Business Analysis. This is examined by a 50 minute oral conducted by 2 BCS appointed examiners. We provide a one-day overview / preparation class for this.

In the near future we will offer:

  • Modelling Business Processes using BPMN (available early 2010 – for the ISEB Certificate in Modelling Business Processes)

  • Systems Modelling using UML (available early 2010 - for the ISEB Certificate in Systems Modelling)
