Why this course works differently
Most business analysis courses teach you concepts. This one puts you to work.
"Business Analysis in Practice" is built around a single, richly detailed case study: Horizon Bank, a retail bank digitalising its personal loan application process. You follow the project from first stakeholder conversation to post-implementation review, making real decisions, producing real deliverables, and building the kind of structured thinking that separates competent BAs from exceptional ones.
Every module mirrors how a professional BA actually operates on a project. No toy examples. No isolated techniques. Just one cohesive, end-to-end experience.
What's inside
30+ artefact packs: your real competitive advantage
This is what makes the course uniquely valuable. Across the programme, you receive complete, ready-to-adapt BA artefacts. These aren't templates; they're fully completed, realistic documents produced for the Horizon Bank project. You can study them, reference them, and adapt them directly for your own work or portfolio.
BA portfolio example and template
A structured template for showcasing your project work in interviews. Plus a fully completed Horizon Bank example. These are the materials that turn course knowledge into interview-ready evidence.
What you'll be able to do after completing it
- Confidently scope and frame a business problem
- Elicit, structure, and document requirements to a professional standard
- Produce the full suite of BA artefacts a delivery team expects
- Navigate stakeholder complexity and competing priorities
- Articulate business value — not just functional requirements
- Walk into a BA interview, assessment centre, or new role with real examples to draw on
Who this is for
Career changers
You are moving into business analysis from another field and need to understand the full lifecycle, not just fragments. This gives you a complete project to learn from and reference.
Aspiring BAs
You are studying for BA certifications or preparing for interviews and need practical experience to complement the theory. The portfolio template gives you something to walk into interviews with.
Junior BAs
You are in your first BA role and want to see how an experienced BA runs a project end-to-end. The artefacts show the standard you should be working towards.
A note on the case study
Horizon Bank is a fictional but professionally constructed case study, designed to reflect the complexity and constraints of a real enterprise BA engagement. It includes regulatory requirements, legacy system constraints, competing stakeholder priorities, and phased delivery — the conditions you'll actually encounter in practice.
Every artefact is internally consistent across the full project lifecycle. IDs, metrics, stakeholder names, and business rules are coherent from Module 0 through to Module 10. This is intentional — it teaches you to think and document with the same rigour a real project demands.
