The Practical Experience and Knowledge of the Instructors were a Big Plus for me because it helped me Groom Myself for the Real World.
I had a pleasure of attending the training classes offered by Requirements Inc on Business Analysis. Srinivas prepared a put together a program for working professionals in business analysis function starting from the functional aspects to the technical areas. Personally, I have learnt a lot in his program and will recommend in a heartbeat to anyone to take his course.
Excellent instructor. The business analyst training class was very helpful. Srinivas and team have developed a thorough curriculum that can prepare either an experienced developer or a beginner to take on a business analyst role.
I always say training and coaching from Requirements Inc. played a key role in my career success as I don’t think I would have stuck it out if it wasn’t for their excellent coaching and insights into what I needed to do to succeed. I highly recommend training from Requirements Inc. I’ve never worked with such a dedicated and hardworking team who truly cares about their clients and employees. This will make a difference for you and your career.
