Designing and delivering a Business Analytics (BA) Training Program is very challenging since it is a cross functional area that requires understanding of statistical techniques, data extraction and management with IT tools as well as the domain knowledge where the analytics may be used. At the same time the trainees also have varied backgrounds ranging from IT to management or commerce graduates with no work experience.
IMS Proschool Program has evolved to achieve a fine balance between these divergent and vast areas. We believe the program now blends the right amount of stats, IT and domain and can be understood by most trainees even with different backgrounds.
