How to Become a Business Analyst without IT Background? | BA with No Experience | Techcanvass 

Thanks, We appreciate that!

Glad you liked it

Yes, you can. Several of our students have been from Sales background and have successfully transitioned. But it's not going to be easy for around 1 year and you may have to take a pay cut, not necessarily but possible. If you are fine with it, then go for it.

Sir , will this course be useful for the beginners in this domain. Especially who dont have IT-Tech background. I am from non-tech background,accounts payable BPO . Kindly reply , I just saw the book which you have showed in this video towards the end. Let me purchase it. Also suggest which will be the best learning meterial for me

Sir, Educational back ground is Accounting ( Hons & Masters) with 7 years Accounts & Finance experience. Will CBAP be helpful to career ?

CBAP is only for professionals who have business analysis work experience. But you can use your Accounts and Finance experience (as a Subject matter expert) and get ECBA certification. This is entry level certification for Business analysis. So you can change to a business analyst profile. Later on, you can do CBAP or CCBA or even other certifications.

Unless it can be categorized as Business analysis work, it wont be counted.

If the experience is not related to Business Analysis, then you won't be eligible for CCBA or CBAP. So I would advise ECBA.

@@TechcanvassAcademy Some of the experience are related to what a BA does but it wasn't a BA position/designation. Like I said, the experience is over 5 years (approximately 8). What would you suggest.

@mateentech the designation does not matter. It's only about Business Analysis activities and for how long have you done it? Also, overall experience as well as Business Analysis experience matters. Only overall experience is not a criteria. You need 900 hrs of experience in any of the four BABOK knowledge areas along with overall 7500 hrs (5 years) of experience. Similarly, it is different for CCBA.

The Business analyst does not need to know programming as the role is more of a customer facing and requirements gathering role.

@@TechcanvassAcademy so how should i start ? Can you tell as i am interested in this role only. And how to get jobs in this field?

You need to start by learning the Business analysis skills. What are the entry level BA skills, watch this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WGybeM2x9OA.html. This will help you in assessing what you need to learn (which you don't possess right now).

So what course should i go for ? Should i start with ecba certification ?

Yes Vaibhav. You should start with ECBA

You need to check the syllabus. MBA in Business Analyst may have programming languages as part of the course. In that case, you need to decide, can you learn programming? If yes, then you can choose. The MBA in Business Analyst is a course which covers many facets of Business Analyst.

@@TechcanvassAcademy yes In syllabus they have mentioned that Pyhton, R , ML , tableau, etc

@@TechcanvassAcademy for that do I need to be pro in programming or basics is enough to sustainable..?

You can check with the college counselor.

Yes, definitely. This is the most reputed Entry level BA certification.
