Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course really free?

Yes, completely. No trial period, no credit card required at any point. Full access to all lessons, guides, and the completion certificate without paying anything.

Do I need any experience?

None at all. Designed for people who are new to business analysis — whether you're coming from another career, just graduated, or simply curious. No technical background required.

How long does it take?

Roughly 2 hours to work through all lessons and complete the assessment. You can spread it across multiple sessions — no time limit on your access.

What's the difference between this and the CBBA?

This free course is an introduction — it covers the what and why of business analysis. The CBBA is a full certification that goes deep on every BA skill and earns you an industry-recognised credential. Most students take this free course first, then enrol in the CBBA.

Is this recognised by employers?

The completion certificate shows you've engaged with the BBAI Framework and finished a structured introduction to business analysis. For a credential built around practical BA work, see the graduate offer for the full CBBA — it's the next step.
