Live masterclass • Thursday 22nd October @ 7pm UK

Want a 6 Figure Career in Tech With Better Pay & More Freedom?

Join Ayo from Digital Business School for a free live training on how people from healthcare, operations, management and project management move into Business Analysis, building on the experience they already have instead of starting again.

  • No Business Analyst job title needed
  • No tech background or coding
  • No new degree

Thursday 22 October 2026, 7pm UK time (BST) · Free · Live Q&A

Watch a DBS student story “I did the course, I've doubled my salary, and I'm looking to double it again.” Jeremy, from Project Management to IT Business Analyst Jeremy's individual experience, in his words. Results vary and are not guaranteed.

Let's be honest

You're capable. The route up just isn't clear.

  • Your pay isn't keeping up

    Bills cost more than they did a few years ago. A small rise doesn't feel like progress.

  • Shifts and commutes run your week

    Rotas, travel and long days decide when you see the people who matter.

  • You've hit a ceiling

    The only step up on offer is more of the same, with more pressure.

  • You feel pigeonholed

    Years in one sector, so it feels like your experience only counts there.

  • No experience, no job

    And no job, no experience. The loop that keeps capable people stuck for years.

  • Another certificate didn't fix it

    Courses sell certificates. Employers look for evidence you can do the work.

The big idea

You've been doing parts of Business Analysis for years.

Solving problems, coordinating people and improving processes is the raw material of the role. It's just never been written in a Business Analyst's language. This training shows you how to translate it, and what you still need on top: skills, practical evidence, a recognised qualification and interview practice.

Illustration: healthcare experience such as understanding patient needs, coordinating with clinical teams and identifying discharge delays maps to BA language: needs analysis, stakeholder communication and process analysis. Same experience, clearer language.

On this free live training

What you'll discover

  1. What a Business Analyst actually does, and why employers pay for it

    Explained with a restaurant: the customer knows what they want, the kitchen knows how to cook, and the BA makes sure both mean the same thing. No coding, no jargon.

  2. How your current experience translates to the role

    Why clinical coordination, rota and process fixes, team leadership and project delivery are closer to BA work than you think.

  3. The 7-step Career Transition Roadmap, and the roadblocks on it

    Skill training, work experience, qualifications, an optimised CV, job applications, interview preparation and passing probation, plus the roadblock that usually stops people at each step.

  4. Why another certificate alone rarely gets you hired

    Employers hire evidence. You'll see the "middle part" most career changers skip, and how to build work you can point to.

  5. A look inside a real client project

    A walkthrough of the five project phases students work through, from Project Initiation Document to Business Requirements Document.

  6. Live Q&A, and how DBS can help if you want support

    Bring your questions about time, money and whether this fits your background.

Being upfront: the training is free and useful on its own. At the end, Ayo will explain the paid BA Accelerator programme for people who want structured support. Registering is not enrolment and there's no obligation.

The Career Transition Roadmap

Seven steps from capable but stuck to competing for BA roles

  1. 1Skill training
  2. 2Work experience
  3. 3Qualifications
  4. 4Optimised CV
  5. 5Job applications
  6. 6Interview preparation
  7. 7Passing probation

Each step is covered on the training, along with what typically gets in the way.

Illustration of the career transition roadblocks along a road to a Business Analyst career: lack of relevant skills, little or no experience, no recognised qualifications, CV not landing interviews, low application volume and lack of confidence.

Real project walkthrough preview

Experience you can point to in an interview

Interviewers ask for examples, not beliefs. On the training you'll see how BA Accelerator students build that evidence on a real client-facing project, working in a small team. The current example: redesigning a homepage for an e-commerce business to support more sales and a better user experience.

Six live tutor sessions guide the work across five connected phases:

  1. PID Project Initiation Document: scope, objectives and stakeholders
  2. AS IS How the process works today, and where it breaks
  3. TO BE The improved process and the requirements behind it
  4. Testing Checking the solution against the agreed requirements
  5. BRD The Business Requirements Document that brings it together
Project phase flow: PID, AS IS, TO BE, Testing, BRD.

Questions

Before you register

Is the training really free?

Yes. Registration and the live training are free. Registering doesn't enrol you in anything.

Will you try to sell me something?

At the end, Ayo explains the paid BA Accelerator programme for people who want structured support. You'll get practical value from the training whether or not you're interested, and there's no obligation.

When is the live training?

The date and time haven't been announced yet.

Do I need a tech background, a degree or BA experience?

No. Business Analysis is about understanding needs, making change clear and checking it solves the problem. The technical team builds the system. For the paid programme, fit is assessed individually.

I work full-time with family commitments. Is this realistic?

The training covers this directly. If you later join the programme, plan for 2–4 hours a week across project work, self-study and interview prep, plus the separate two-day opening training.

Can you guarantee a job, salary, remote work or visa sponsorship?

No. Hiring, pay, working pattern and sponsorship are employers' decisions. The training shows how to put yourself in a stronger position, with skills, evidence, a recognised qualification and interview practice.
