Customer Review

The uCertify CCBA CBAP course is simply one of the best of its kind. At the start of the course, you get pre-assessment to test your knowledge of this field. There are chapters that are strictly based on the exam objectives. Each chapter contains quizzes and glossaries at the end. The glossaries help in memorizing the important concepts easily. I loved the UI of the platform!!!

I recently tried out the IIBA CBAP- CCBA course from uCertify, and I was excited to find out how it is packed with key tools and techniques pre-eminent to a Business Analyst. The structure and layout of the course itself are decidedly rolled-out to give the utmost overview of what you can expect from the course and consistent across the course content is the section summary, exam essentials, and key terms, you are also provided with examples of how to apply the concepts in your own projects. Furthermore, you are enabled to test your knowledge on each section by going through the cards, quizzes, and exercises. I am confident that this course is tailored to suit any professional of any level (junior, intermediate or senior) in the analysis space or looking to get into the analysis space.
