Hi, I am your Coach
I started in tech believing coding was the only path. After a few months of staring at lines of code, I realized it wasn’t for me. That’s when I discovered Business Analysis — a career that let me stay in tech while solving problems, shaping strategy, and working with people instead of debugging code.
Since then, I’ve built a 15+ year career across Wealth Management, Insurance, FinTech, Retail, Healthcare, Aviation, and Telecom — leading multi-million-dollar projects as a Business Analyst, Product Owner, and Team Leader.
Along the way I earned CBAP, PMP, CSPO, CSM, A-CSPO, and a Master’s in Computer Science. Most importantly, I’ve mentored 1,000+ professionals (many from zero experience) into BA careers.
👉 I founded Skillverse to give you the roadmap, skills, and mentorship I wish I had when I was starting out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need technical experience or coding skills to take this course?
No, absolutely not! This course is designed for all backgrounds, from non-technical professionals to fresh graduates. You’ll learn practical BA skills, AI tools (like Grok, ChatGPT, Tableau), and industry tools (Jira, Confluence) with step-by-step guidance and 1:1 WhatsApp/Zoom coaching from Afaq.
Will this course help me get a Business Analyst job?
Yes! You’ll gain job-ready skills through a real-world Capstone Project, 1:1 mock interviews (worth $60 each) with a 400+ question bank, resume and LinkedIn reviews, and tailored job market strategies for North American BA roles, including remote opportunities.
Are the lessons live, and what if I miss a session?
Some sessions are 1:1 and some are recorded. Customized plan will be created for you to complete the course in 8 weeks. Some lessons are provided in advance for you to watch or accelerate and we meet on Google Meets or Zoom. All sessions we do 1:1 will be recorded.
What tools and skills will I learn?
You’ll master industry-standard tools like Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, Miro, and Lucidchart, plus AI platforms (Grok, ChatGPT, Tableau) for requirements, diagrams, and analytics. You’ll also learn Agile, Scrum, and IIBA-aligned BA techniques, applied in a hands-on Capstone Project.
How does this course prepare me for IIBA certifications?
Our curriculum is built on the IIBA BABOK® framework, so you’ll gain the same core skills recognized worldwide. That said, this course goes beyond theory — it’s designed to prepare you for interviews and real-world BA projects. If your goal is certification (ECBA, CCBA, or CBAP), I recommend enrolling in an IIBA-approved certification program to earn the official PDUs required for the exam. This way, you get the best of both worlds: practical job readiness plus a clear path to certification.
What makes this course different from other BA training programs?
Unlike other courses, BAA combines AI-powered BA skills, hands-on tools, and a real-world Capstone Project with direct 1:1 coaching from Afaq (15+ years experience). Our 100+ student success stories prove it works!
What is the 1:1 WhatsApp coaching like?
You’ll have direct access to Afaq via WhatsApp for personalized guidance on coursework, mock interviews, resume tweaks, or job strategies. It’s like having a mentor in your pocket.
Can I work remotely as a Business Analyst after this course?
Yes! BAs are in high demand for remote roles. You’ll learn skills to collaborate globally using tools like Jira and Confluence, plus job strategies to target remote-friendly positions, as covered in our job readiness support. Having said that, some position demands you to be in office x1, x2, x3, x4 times a week.
What is the cost, and are there payment plans?
The course is a one-time investment and you need to contact me for further information.
Are there any prerequisites for this course?
No, however, only prerequisite is your time and commitment towards this course. And I shall transform you
Do you help in job placement?
I don’t offer direct job placement, but I provide comprehensive support to make you job-ready! You’ll get 1:1 mock interviews (worth $60 each) with a 500+ question bank, professional resume and LinkedIn reviews, and tailored job market strategies for North American BA roles. I work with genuine professionals to craft authentic profiles that make lasting impressions—no fake interviews, resumes, or profiles.
