We created the BA Career Accelerator with a clear purpose in mind. Many employers often demand prior experience when hiring Business Analysts, making it a challenging endeavour to gain that experience independently – we’ve been there ourselves. We understand that many individuals are unable to secure the Business Analyst role they aspire to simply because they lack the necessary guidance and knowledge. Our aim was to develop a playbook that could serve as a guide for people looking to transition into Business Analysis careers whenever they feel the urge. With the BA Career Accelerator, we provide the tools and resources needed to bridge that experience gap and fulfil their career aspirations in the field of Business Analysis.

The BA Career Accelerator (BACA) program has a duration of 12 weeks, during which participants can benefit from live weekly coaching and mentoring sessions. 

Following the program, you have the opportunity to participate in our unpaid internship program, where you can gain valuable hands-on experience. Additionally, you can continue to receive support through weekly coaching sessions, connecting with coaches and industry experts to further enhance your skills and knowledge in the field.
