Who it's for
You already have more BA skills than you think.
Most strong business analysts didn't start as business analysts. This program is built for people bringing experience from somewhere else.
Researchers and analysts
You already frame good questions and read data. We turn that into requirements work.
Banking and finance staff
You know the processes BAs get hired to fix. Learn to document and improve them.
Operations and support
You see where systems break every day. That is the raw material of good requirements.
Graduates and early career
Start with a clear path and a portfolio, instead of guessing what employers want.
Free to join. It does not reserve a seat.
Acceptance criteria
What you leave with, written the way a BA would.
Every week adds a deliverable to one capstone project, so by the end you have a body of work, not just notes.
Scenario: You complete the cohort
Given 12 weeks, two live sessions a week, and one capstone project

Free to join. It does not reserve a seat.
The 12 weeks
Five phases, one project, start to finish.
You follow a realistic case, such as a fintech onboarding flow, from kickoff brief to UAT plan, the same way a BA would on the job.
Foundations
The IT BA role, the SDLC, Agile and Scrum vs Waterfall, and how BAs work with PMs and Product Owners.
Stakeholders and elicitation
Interviews and workshops, stakeholder mapping, prioritisation, and the 4C Framework: Clarity, Conflict, Consensus, Commitment.
Requirements and modeling
BRDs and FRDs, user stories and acceptance criteria, process and data modeling, and reading an API like a BA.
Delivery
Traceability, UAT, change management, and working in regulated environments like fintech and telecoms.
Career launch
Capstone presentation, CV and LinkedIn rewrite, mock interviews, and your ECBA roadmap.
Free to join. It does not reserve a seat.

Questions
Before you sign up.
Do I need a tech or IT background?
No. Most career changers come from research, banking, operations, or customer-facing roles. Week 1 starts from the basics.
What if I miss a live session?
Every session is recorded, so you can catch up and still submit that week's assignment.
Will this get me certified?
The program covers the BABOK foundations and ends with a clear ECBA roadmap. When you finish the training, you'll receive a BA Bridge Cohort certificate of completion. Professional certification exams, such as the ECBA, are taken separately through IIBA.
Is a job guaranteed?
No honest program can promise that. You will leave with a portfolio, a sharper CV, and interview practice, which is what hiring managers look for.
When does it start?
All 10 places in the November 2026 cohort are taken. The next cohort is planned for February 2027; we will share its dates and timetable with the waitlist before registration opens.
How do I pay?
There is no payment to join the waitlist. We will share the price and secure payment options when February 2027 registration opens.
When is my place confirmed?
Joining the waitlist does not reserve a place. When registration opens, we will explain how to enrol and confirm a place.
What is the refund policy?
If you withdraw before the cohort begins, you can request a refund less a 10% administrative fee, or transfer your place once to the next cohort at no cost. Once training has commenced, fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. If BA Bridge postpones or cancels the cohort, you may choose a full refund with no deduction or a place in the next cohort. Refund requests must be sent in writing and are processed within 14 working days. Cohort enquiries: [email protected].
Free to join. It does not reserve a seat.
