[austechwriter] Re: BA training



Brian
What is now called Business Analysis used to be known as Systems Analysis.
It was included in many IT, engineering and business degrees, usually as a
2nd or 3rd year subject. Try any of the on-line, distance-learning
universities, eg, UTS, Deakin, UWS, etc.

Hi Brian

To clarify fo everyone, this is exactly what I do not want.  Systems Analys=
ts come from a systems perspective and so does their training.  I have foun=
d a TAFE qualification in 'Business Analysis' that results in a qualificati=
on as a 'Systems Analyst.'  It is focussed on systems specification with ve=
ry little concentration on working with the business to solicit business re=
quirements. =20

As many BAs are being recruited direct from within a business, often from f=
airly junior roles and with very little IT experience, there is a diffferen=
t category of BA for which training is needed.  These people are frequently=
 found on ERP style projects but are popping up elsewhere.  Whilst they nee=
d to understand the IT context they have no need to understand any IT speci=
fics.

Thanks, Christine
