The purpose of IIBA® Australia Study Groups is to provide a structured and shared experience to learn content and develop an understanding of various IIBA® material. Study Groups are distinct from training, which can be provided by IIBA® endorsed education providers (EEPs). They can be conducted "in-house" for employers who want to build BA competency for their employees.
Study Groups also provide a platform to share experiences and challenges with other Business Analysts and identify practices that may enhance your own Business Analysis performance. They are also beneficial for those wishing to prepare for IIBA® certification or earn Professional Development Units (PDUs).
