The LPI/ SEEC Difference

Our program offers many unique or uncommon features that distinguish it from other certificates:

  • Simulation/ Applied Learning - Preparation for this team-based simulation builds over the semester, culminating in execution during the final module. The simulation enables participants to apply their BA knowledge in a realistic situation. ‘Learning by doing' helps you to retain and apply your knowledge back in the work place.
  • National partnership - 7 highly regarded Canadian universities and learning institutions offer this same programs. Participants are attending a nationally recognized program, and can even make up missed dates by visiting another city.
  • In-Depth Program - The program offers 18 full days of instruction, compared to many other certificates which offer a briefer instructional timeframe. This thorough exploration ensures that you will investigate all areas of the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge, AND learn to apply this knowledge via group discussion, exercises and simulation.
  • Professional networking - Participants range from those brand new to their roles, to those who have many years of experience, and represent all industries. The diversity of attendees and the interactive team experience create professional relationships which are frequently maintained years after program completion.
  • Experienced instructors with diverse backgrounds - During the program, you will meet 7-9 different facilitators - highly regarded, experienced practitioners and not just staff instructors. This diversity ensures that each program module is taught by a true subject matter expert - as opposed to some certificates that require 1 or 2 facilitators to lead the entire program (which often requires these facilitators to stray outside their areas of personal proficiency). This range of expertise allows you to take away the ‘best of the best' from your program experience.
  • National Program Directors - The program is codirected and managed by David Barrett and Beverley Fingerhut. Their role ensures that the program is nationally consistent and always up-to-date with the current trends and requirements of our business analyst community. The program is under constant scrutiny for continuous improvement.  As the Managing Director of ProjectWorld and BusinessAnalystWorld, David is running conferences in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, the US and Australia.
  • Extras included - We include all catering (breakfast, lunch, coffee breaks), course materials, the final exam, and access to our Business Analysis online community in your program price. Once you register for the program, there are no other hidden fees.
