Business analysis plays a critical role in helping organizations identify needs, define solutions, and drive successful change.

This specialization is designed to help you prepare confidently for the ECBA (Entry Certificate in Business Analysis) certification offered by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA). Aligned with the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK), the program strengthens your understanding of core business analysis concepts, including process modeling, requirements gathering and management, and stakeholder engagement.
Throughout the program, you will work with widely used tools and techniques such as BPMN, Swimlane diagrams, and process mapping using Visio. Through hands-on labs and real-world projects, you’ll practice analyzing business processes, prioritizing requirements, and managing stakeholder expectations to support organizational goals.
As you progress, the focus shifts to ECBA exam preparation. You’ll review key BABOK knowledge areas, work through practice questions, and apply proven strategies for exam success. The specialization concludes with a full-length mock exam that closely mirrors the real ECBA testing experience, helping you approach the certification exam with confidence.

This Program comprises 3 purposely designed courses that take you on a carefully defined tangible learning path.
It is a self-paced program, which means it isn’t run to a fixed schedule with regard to completing courses or submitting assignments.
