I signed up for this course and forgot about it. After completing another BA bootcamp online, I came back to this course to brush up but was totally surprised by the value I got from this course . I am totally thankful to Meetul Patel for sharing his wisdom and experience. I have learnt much more from this course then from my bootcamp for which I paid a lot of money. This course is a really top notch.

it is one of the best material I have ever seen on Business Analysis. The Trainer broke it down in such a way that even a small child will understand. I have recommended the course to lot of aspiring BAs

It's good for a people like me who has no idea what BA means. My background is in Aviation but I want to change my carreer to SA and my colleage said BA is a good starting point and foundation.
