Business Analyst Placement Programme in Islington

Please note this is a training course and fees apply.

Our Business Analysis Placement Programme is designed for anyone looking to start a career as a Business Analyst (BA) using education and recruitment support to help you achieve an entry level role or position.

A Business Analyst is a problem solver who investigates an issue or area of weakness within an organisation or business, analyses solutions and helps facilitate the change that is needed. They do this through following a set of guidelines and principles set out within the BCS Business Analysis Diploma certification.

To succeed as a Business Analyst, you should be someone who enjoys problem solving and analysing, has good administration skills and communicates well in both written and verbal communication. You should be able to work well alone but also integrate well into a team.

The role will generally include:

• Analysing elements within the business or the whole business
• Making evaluations of all available data
• Identifying problems and looking at potential improvements
• Making a feasibility study in proposed improvements
• Presenting your acquired information within a business case to the company or organisation
• Implementing any agreed or necessary changes to increase the efficiency of the organisation or business

Demand for Business Analysts continues to soar as organisations need to evolve and stay competitive in an ever-changing world. Business Analysts ensure a business remains relevant and future proofs against changes both foreseen and sudden.

We specialise in working with candidates who wish to start or transition into a Business Analyst career. How do we do this?

1. Firstly, we place you on a training programme which provides a pathway to the most relevant industry recognised certification being the BCS Business Analysis Diploma. The diploma comprises of 4 certification courses and a final oral examination signing you off as Business Analyst through the BCS. Study time to complete all of the certifications is recommended at around 90 hours to achieve exam pass level.
2. Once you have successfully passed the 4 required certification exams and the oral exam which make up the diploma, you will be handed over to our recruitment support team. They will then work with you to help rewrite your CV to a professional standard to highlight the skills required by Business Analyst recruiters. In addition, they will also assist in creating a professional LinkedIn profile, interview support, career advice and tailored support such as taking you through mock interviews.
3. Our recruitment advice consultants will work with you to identify the best opportunities available which are suited to you. Their tailored support ensures you only apply for roles where there is a realistic chance of success and help you to prepare for interviews and perform at your best. Typically, starter roles will be junior business analyst, junior analyst or a support/admin role utilising your analytical skills.
