Course Overview

The rapid growth in the deployment of and enhancements to information technology solutions in business settings over the past 10 years has thrust the Business Analyst/Information Technology (IT) Consultant into an increasingly prominent role throughout many sectors, including government, finance, health care, and telecommunications. A crucial role in the software/system development life cycle, the Business Analyst gathers business requirements from various areas in the organization, and translates them into functional system design specifications that can be successfully executed by IT development teams. The role of the Business Analyst or Information Technology Consultant is often critical to increasing project success rates.

 Further, George Brown is recognized by the International Institute of Business Analysis as an Academic Member and is proud to prepare graduates to write the Entry Certificate in Business Analysis (TM).

This intensive program is designed for IT or business professionals who aspire to enter into a business analyst role or practitioners who wish to enhance their experience with formal education. A deeper level of understanding of the business analyst role will be developed through unique learning techniques and invaluable practical experience. Participants will be engaged and supported by a team of business analyst consultants and faculty in developing critical skills and competencies in the areas of:

  • Problem identification
  • Documenting and analyzing user requirements
  • Process and workflow modelling
  • Communication and facilitation
  • Project management
  • Technical writing
  • Leadership and management
  • Decision-making

A key characteristic of this program is the applied nature of the curriculum. Students are immersed in the process of business analysis through case histories of real-world business issues and are responsible for developing solutions. The uniqueness of this program is in creating a practicing business analyst rather than creating someone who knows how to do it. This program creates work-ready graduates who can do, and have done, the business analysis process through applied, hands-on experience.
