We caught up for a chat with Sawan Arora, a student of the online Agile Business Analyst & Scrum certification course. Here’s what he has to say about the program.
Hi, my name is Sawan Arora, and I have recently completed the Agile Business Analyst & Scrum Prodegree at Imarticus Learning. The course curriculum is excellent and includes business analysis, agile & scrum, project management, and additionally, you get access to a lot of SAP instructional videos.
Initially, I was a bit nervous about joining an online Agile & Scrum certification course because I was not sure how it would be in comparison to a classroom training program. But as soon as the course began, and I attended the sessions, it turned out to be a smart decision, and it was a significant step towards my career goals.
The faculty at Imarticus is definitely at par; no exceeds industry standards. The knowledge level they have and their skills are excellent. I was trained by Mr. Mukhraj Saberwal, who has over 18 years of experience. His lectures were terrific, and all his sessions were very interactive. The entire class would interact with him extensively, and there were a lot of queries and doubts that we used to pass on to him.
It was just like we were in a classroom training program because whenever we asked any questions, he was prompt in his response.
There is a lot of good content to learn and knowledge to gain during these 160 hours of training, and you get access to an LMS portal from Imarticus that has all of the learning material on it. You can access it anytime, anywhere as long as you have a decent internet connection. LMS was an essential aspect of the learning journey.
On completion of the program, you get 35 PDU’s from IIBA, and that makes you eligible for the CCBA or ECBA exams if you have the required experience. The course in all really helps you know the skills a business analyst should have – you get a good exposure of agile and scrum methodologies, and hands-on knowledge of project management.
So, no matter if you are an experienced professional or a fresher, if you want to learn business analysis, I would highly recommend you join Imarticus Learning.
Not to forget, you also receive access to Imarticus Learning’s placement portal where you can find a job on completion of the course.

How to Get a Data Science Job After A Career Gap?

Deepti recounts her journey from a career gap to be a stay-at-home mom to a landing a data science job after Imarticus’ data science course. It’s always challenging – getting back into the job market after an extended break. A business venture that went bust, prolonged illness, family responsibilities, the possible reasons are many. In my case, I wanted to take a career break for a couple of years to focus on raising my child who is now 9 years old. My name is Deepti, and I am a mathematics graduate with 6 years of experience in the IT industry, specifically Oracle applications and data warehousing. After my break, I experienced first-hand the challenges involved in restarting my IT career. The jobs I wanted were out of reach; the available jobs didn’t pay enough, and the jobs that paid decently pronounced me as overqualified. Imarticus’ data science course fit my needs perfectly!  In the midst of all this, I came across data science and realized that this industry is growing and, considering my background in IT and mathematics, would be the perfect fit for me. I began researching institutes with the right curriculum, faculty, infrastructure, and other pre-requisites you’d generally look for. I zeroed in on Imarticus’ data science course because it was the perfect blend of theoretical learning and hands-on industry-relevant practical experience. Big Data Analytics Courses One worry at the back of my mind was ‘how do I juggle between a full-time data science course and taking care of my 9-year old son?’ A quick call with Swapnil, the head of Imarticus’ Thane center, put my mind to rest. I spoke to him about my concern, and without a second thought, he offered to let my son accompany me to class. With my son in the room beside me, I was able to concentrate entirely on my lectures and complete the course successfully. The course itself is outstanding and warrants a 5-star rating. What I liked most about the course was a learning management portal – Learntron – that I was given 24/7 access to. I remember going back home at the end of a day of classes to put in some time working on the day’s assignments. I could always log on to the online platform, re-watch the lectures & videos, refer to the notes and clear any doubts & queries that arose. The learner was a great aid to my entire learning journey. I also want to make special mention of the faculty, Ms. Ritu Singh and Ms. Prachi Samant, who are amazing trainers. Being data science professionals themselves, they are incredibly proficient in every aspect of the industry and were able to help me relate the projects and case studies I worked on to real-world data science business problems. The final step was crucial: building my resume and preparing for interviews. Because of my career break, my resume was outdated and needed a complete overhaul. Imarticus’ career services team helped me hone my resume to reflect my new skills and turn it into a job-magnet. They also helped me run through the most probable data science interview questions through mock interviews. The professional transformation I’ve undergone is a testament to Imarticus’ data science program, and I am thrilled that I took up the course. Do you want to kick-start your data science career?
