FAQs

What is Analysis & Design, and why is it important?

Analysis & Design refers to the process of understanding system requirements and translating them into well-structured technical models. It helps developers and analysts build scalable, maintainable systems and ensures project success by aligning technical output with business goals. 

What career opportunities can data analysis training lead to?

Learning Object-Oriented Analysis and Design can open doors to roles such as business analyst, systems analyst, software architect, technical designer, and senior developer. These skills are highly valued in software, finance, healthcare, and government sectors. 

Which industries require analysis & design skills?

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design is used across industries that rely on software and systems development - such as finance, technology, healthcare, logistics, government, and consultancy - where clear requirements, system modelling, and scalable architecture are critical to success. 

Do I need programming experience before undertaking a data analyst course?

Yes, you’ll need a basic understanding of object-oriented programming concepts like classes, attributes, and operations. This knowledge can be gained through our Introduction to Programming course or through practical experience. 

What is the difference between analysis and design in software development?

Analysis focuses on understanding what a system needs to do by identifying requirements and modelling business processes. Design defines how the system will meet those needs through technical solutions, structure, and architecture. Both are critical steps in delivering effective software.
