Course Overview
Modern organisations expect Business Analysts to support decision-making using real data rather than assumptions. Data-Driven BA Training introduces practical approaches to analysing business problems using analytics, metrics, and evidence-based insights.
Over three focused days, participants learn how business analysts interpret datasets, collaborate with data teams, and translate analytical insights into clear business requirements. The programme introduces key concepts aligned to the Certification in Business Data Analytics (CBDA) framework developed by the International Institute of Business Analysis.
This mentor-led programme emphasises practical application. Participants practise identifying data sources, analysing business metrics, interpreting dashboards, and translating data insights into actionable business requirements and recommendations.
