Course outline ‐ ©Assist Knowledge Development Ltd. Course manual You will also be given a comprehensive revision pack which explains what examiners are looking for, how to prepare for the exam and some sample questions and tips on the topics that might be covered as part of the practitioner specialist modules. N.B. You are not examined on the Knowledge-based specialist module. For virtual workshops the revision pack will be sent to your home address in good time for the start of your workshop. Our delegates tell us that having access to a physical document is beneficial as both a reference document and for taking notes during the workshop. In addition, a link will be emailed to you to enable you to access an electronic copy of the same comprehensive manual for convenient future reference. Is there an exam? No. Not at the end of this day. But we recommend that candidates schedule their BCS Oral exam to take place at least three weeks after the workshop to give them enough time to revise. We also offer a mock exam which is an ideal practice run for the BA Oral Exam. What’s next? The mock exam is the ideal practice run for the Business Analysis Diploma - BCS Oral Examination so makes a perfect next step. One of our Business Analysis trainers (who is also an experienced examiner) will ask you the sort of questions you will be asked in the actual oral exam, allowing you to test your knowledge and understanding. Afterwards, they will talk you through how you performed, giving invaluable feedback and helping you identify topics that need your attention.
