New & Early-Career BAs

Starting your BA career and want a recognised credential. ECBA™ gives you the foundation — with full blueprint coverage and mock exams included.

Career Changers

Moving into BA from project management, data, or consulting. BA Fundamentals applies every technique to a real case study — so you learn by doing, not by memorising.

Practitioner Track

Working Professionals

Already practising as a BA and ready to formalise your skills. Both tracks count toward IIBA® PD hours — and stack toward CCBA® and CBAP® eligibility.

Why BA Unfiltered

Training that reflects how the work actually happens.

Most BA training teaches theory in isolation. We build every course around real scenarios — so you're not just ready for the exam, you're ready for the project.

01

Practitioner-led

Taught by a CBAP®-certified BA with 15+ years of hands-on delivery across banking, telco and government.

02

Scenario-driven

Every technique is applied to a single continuous case study — not isolated exercises. You see how it all connects.

03

Blueprint-aligned

Content is reviewed against the IIBA® BABOK® Guide and refreshed within 60 days of every blueprint update.

04

Built for real schedules

Bite-sized lessons, self-paced delivery, and downloadable resources you can actually use on your next project.
