BCS Business Analysis Diploma

[Whorty]

Anyone done this / doing this / planning to do this?

Coming to the end of my current contract and thinking of getting a few courses under my belt before looking for next role. Been a PM and BA for years, but think it's time to get a formal BA qual (I already have Prince).

Anyone recommend a good provider, preferably in South West area (Poole, Bournmouth, Bath etc).

Cheers. Whorty

The most practised anal-ists are in Brighton. Ahem...so I understand.

I'm in a similar situation and ordered the BCS Business Analysis book. Foundation looks straightforward, 1 hour multi choice.

I'm just going to read the book and then sit the exam. Waste of time attending a course.

Will then do the Diploma in BA, which requires 3 further written exams and an oral examination (wait for the wise crack remarks!)

Do the BCS allow answers involving PCs yet?

Or do they still consider PCs to be 'toys' [sic]?

I looked at this a while ago. I gave up because at the time, providers would not do 'test only' they insisted you take their course. It would be nice to know if that has changed.

I did foundation

I did foundation and it was pretty basic but could only find course with test at the end and couldn't be bovvered

Yes, you can do exam-only. But you got to ring the course providers and tell them you only want the exam.

Exam only on a day trip to London, or find one local
