Course Reviews

Ignacio Garcia

I have been working as a BA for a while now but never was formally trained in any of these tools. I took a leap of faith and took this course – a great decision. There was no way I could have got such a deep insight into these tools in such a short time!

Pradeep Banerjee

Awesome practical hands on course. The best part is that it explains the various BA tools using a real project which you work hands on. A unique teaching concept which really worked well with me.
