IIBA® Entry Certificate in Business Analysis™ (ECBA™) Exam Prep
This IIBA®-endorsed course prepares the learners to pass an industry-leading certification for aspiring business analysts - Entry Certificate in Business Analysis™ (ECBA™) by IIBA®. This certification prepares and equips Business Analysis Professionals with expertise and key competencies to start their career. The certification improves the marketability, employability, and earning potential of practitioners.
Entry Certificate in Business Analysis™ (ECBA™) provides individuals, with no business analysis experience who are developing their business analysis skills, with a certificate that recognizes their entry into the business analysis profession.
The target audience for this information includes individuals aspiring to become business analysts, as well as those who already have less than two years of experience in the field. Project managers, product owners, and anyone with an interest in obtaining an IIBA certification are also included in the intended audience. Furthermore, this information is relevant for professionals who are currently certified by IIBA and are seeking opportunities for professional development units.
While prior exposure or interest in the business analysis profession is beneficial, it is not mandatory for participation in the course. However, obtaining IIBA® membership and having access to the BABOK® Guide is recommended, as the course expects participants to read the corresponding BABOK® chapters as they progress. This additional resource can enhance the learning experience and provide valuable insights into the principles and practices of business analysis.

This not a prep course at all, but rather a very surface overview of some of the material you'll need to learn for the ECBA exam. It's neither a companion to the BABOK that will guide you through what you'll need to know, nor does it provide study and testing strategies that will prepare you for the exam. The questions asked after each section are overly simplistic (a person who has no knowledge of the content would be able to answer most of them by process of elimination), and do not at all mirror those that will likely be asked in the exam. Instead of providing a mock exam at the conclusion of the course, it has a practical hands on activity, which will not be required for the exam. I would not recommend this course except to maybe get a feel for what Business Analysis is and some of its core concepts.

While I very much appreciate Igor's work and that there was a Coursera on-demand offering for the ECBA required training, I found the structure and learning objectives a little ambiguous for my taste. I will need to review the BABOK Guide rigorously on my own to truly understand the minimum knowledge requirements I will need to pass the examination. Just food for thought; maybe this won't be the case for you!

Excellent introduction and overview that is well presented. Will be especially helpful for the intended audience, namely, those seeking entry-level professional credentials. However, I took the course as an experienced BA and found the material refreshing, stimulating, and thought-provoking. I've got takeaways that will bolster what is already a robust business analysis process. Highly recommended, therefore, for learners at all levels.

I enjoy the last lesson a lot. It helps to apply knowledge from the course. Also, the checking questions after almost every lesson were helpful in summarizing the learned lesson.
And of course, thanks Igor for the great and easy-understandable content!
