Any Trainers here? I have a query from a lady who wants to retrain as a BA/IT analyst, but she has been not working for a few years now because of her young kids, now that they started school, she is looking to reskill, so I suggested training to refresh her old skills.... anyone has a good suggestion where she can start ?

I would definitely recommend TCC Agile Business Analysis (AgileBA) Training Courses | TCC
I did agile BA with them but they do the BSC BA courses as well.
And don't dismiss Udemy, you can get their course for a tenner if you open one of their ads. It will give you base knowledge."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Thanks cojak, was thinking of PMing you anyway as I know you were a trainer and took training yourself. Will PM you re her.Comment

One word of warning: the BA market is saturated. It seems like every man and their dog has BA on their CV these days and the clients are getting very specific about what they're looking for... it may be best to look elsewhere, or to train toward a specific niche.

I saw the following just yesterday after seeing someone asking a similar career change question on reddit or some other forum I peruse.
Technology Development Programme | Nationwide Jobs
Seems as good an approach as any if you want an actual job out of it. Note I'm not personally recommending Nationwide as I have had no dealings with them at all, not even as a customer. I'm sure there are other big companies taking a similar proactive approach in finding skilled staff to fill their niches.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

But it may be better than nothing to get a foot in the door. The real learning will happen on the job, away from the books and powerpoint.⭐️ Gold Star ContractorComment

Forget it BA/PM roles that have been plentiful in the last 10 years are no more (unless you know your old boss)
