Course Overview

Business Analysis Diploma oral preparation
workshop

To complete their Diploma in Business Analysis, candidates must attend a 50-minute interview with two BCS (ISEB) oral examiners. The examiners’ task is to find out if the participants can put all of the techniques they have learned through their modular examinations into an overall context and whether they have the analytical and interpersonal skills to be awarded the Diploma.

This workshop is designed to help participants prepare for the oral examination by revising the various modules they have taken and by showing them what the examiners will be seeking and how to approach the examination.

The workshop is presented by one of the many AssistKD trainers who are themselves oral examiners.

At the end of the workshop, participants are provided with a detailed revision pack which contains mind-map summaries of the modules, an analysis of the examiners’ aims and objectives, guidance on how to prepare and sample questions and answers that illustrate how the examination should be approached.
