This course is designed for

Wherever you're starting from.

New & Early-Career BAs

  • You've passed the ECBA™ and want to go deeper
  • You need to apply BABOK® to a real context, not just memorise it
  • You're in your first BA role and need a structured practice framework
  • 36 PD hours total when combined with the ECBA™ Prep Course
Every month without a practical framework is a month your peers build real delivery experience you're still missing.

Career Changers

  • Moving into BA from project management, data, ops or consulting
  • You want practical technique application, not just theory
  • The case study gives you a portfolio-ready context to reference
  • Self-paced — fits around existing work commitments
Without applied practice, hiring managers can't distinguish you from every other career changer applying for the same role.

Why this course is different

Built around one project. Not a theory recital.

Most BA training isolates techniques. This course applies every one to a single continuous 12-month digital banking transformation — so you see exactly how they connect in practice.

Most Training
Live technical bootcamps running on rigid, high-priced presentation schedules
Surface-level data concepts taught as generic definitions without a real underlying project
Techniques taught in isolation with no connecting project thread
High cost with no reusable artefacts for your next delivery
Taught by instructors who left the field years ago
BA Unfiltered
100% Self-paced runtime — fits completely around your active corporate deliverables
Deep hands-on data mapping, system interface logic, and real-world API requirements
8 quizzes + 4h worksheets reinforce every module
5 templates built from the case study — ready for work
Taught by a CBAP®-certified Principal BA, still active
Curriculum

8 modules. Bite-sized lessons. One real project.

Who's teaching

Learn from a certified practitioner, not a slide deck.

CBAP® MIS · University of Melbourne MBA Finance · IBA SAFe 5 Agilist AWS Cloud Practitioner COBIT 2019

Shoaib Aleem is a CBAP®-certified Principal Business Analyst and Founder of BA Unfiltered, with over 15 years of hands-on delivery experience across Telecom, Banking, Government and Logistics.

He holds a Master of Information Systems from the University of Melbourne (2023) and has led business analysis on some of Australia's most complex transformation programs — including enterprise data migrations at Australia Post and NAB, and prepaid order management uplift at Telstra.

BA Unfiltered was built on a single conviction: that the gap between knowing BA theory and performing as a confident analyst is closed by learning from someone still doing the work — not someone who left the field to teach it.

No — this course stands on its own. However, if you're also working toward the ECBA™ certification, we recommend doing the ECBA™ Exam Prep Training first or alongside this course. The ECBA™ course covers the theory aligned to the exam blueprint; this course applies all of it to a real project.
Austral Bank is a fictional mid-tier Australian retail bank undergoing a 12-month Digital Customer Onboarding Transformation — built to reflect the complexity, stakeholder dynamics and constraints of real enterprise BA work.
This course is pre-qualified by IIBA® for 15 Professional Development (PD) hours — no application or approval required. Log them directly toward your CCBA® or CBAP® certification maintenance. Combined with the ECBA™ Prep Course (21 PD hours), that's 36 PD hours from two courses.
Each module includes a case study worksheet — a structured activity where you apply what you've just learned to the Austral Bank scenario. Total worksheet time is approximately 4 hours across all 8 modules. They're designed to build the kind of thinking that holds up in real delivery, not just exam conditions.
This course includes our 14-Day Fair-Use Evaluation Policy from date of purchase. Contact [email protected] within 14 days and we'll process your refund subject to T&Cs. Please review our full Terms and Conditions.
6 months from date of purchase — more than enough time to complete the course at a comfortable pace and revisit modules as your practice evolves.
The course is delivered via Thinkific — accessible on desktop, tablet or mobile. We recommend desktop for the worksheet activities, but video lessons work well on any device.
Ready when you are

Walk into your next project already knowing you'll deliver.

Full coverage of all six BABOK® Knowledge Areas — applied to a real transformation, not just explained. 15 PD hours, 5 templates, a certificate, and the confidence that comes from having done the work.

No — this course stands on its own. However, if you're also working toward the ECBA™ certification, we recommend doing the ECBA™ Exam Prep Training first or alongside this course. The ECBA™ course covers the theory aligned to the exam blueprint; this course applies all of it to a real project.
Austral Bank is a fictional mid-tier Australian retail bank undergoing a 12-month Digital Customer Onboarding Transformation — built to reflect the complexity, stakeholder dynamics and constraints of real enterprise BA work.
This course is pre-qualified by IIBA® for 15 Professional Development (PD) hours — no application or approval required. Log them directly toward your CCBA® or CBAP® certification maintenance. Combined with the ECBA™ Prep Course (21 PD hours), that's 36 PD hours from two courses.
Each module includes a case study worksheet — a structured activity where you apply what you've just learned to the Austral Bank scenario. Total worksheet time is approximately 4 hours across all 8 modules. They're designed to build the kind of thinking that holds up in real delivery, not just exam conditions.
This course includes our 14-Day Fair-Use Evaluation Policy from date of purchase. Contact [email protected] within 14 days and we'll process your refund subject to T&Cs. Please review our full Terms and Conditions.
6 months from date of purchase — more than enough time to complete the course at a comfortable pace and revisit modules as your practice evolves.
The course is delivered via Thinkific — accessible on desktop, tablet or mobile. We recommend desktop for the worksheet activities, but video lessons work well on any device.

Full coverage of all six BABOK® Knowledge Areas — applied to a real transformation, not just explained. 15 PD hours, 5 templates, a certificate, and the confidence that comes from having done the work.
