About this qualification

Digital transformation is changing how organisations operate, compete and serve their customers. Technology alone, however, does not solve business problems. Organisations need people who can understand business needs, analyse processes and data, work with stakeholders and help shape digital solutions that create meaningful value.

The Higher Certificate in Digital Business Analysis develops foundational capability across business analysis, process modelling, data, digital strategy, Agile project management, user experience, digital technologies, and ethics and governance. Across eight credit-bearing modules, learners build practical skills for analysing problems and contributing to technology-enabled change.

The qualification is designed for learners at different stages, from those entering higher education or the workplace to employees and career changers looking to build digital business capability. Its focus on workplace application helps learners connect business needs, people and technology with greater confidence.

This course is ideal for:

School leavers, first-time higher education learners, employees moving into digital or analytical roles, working professionals strengthening their digital capability, and career changers interested in business analysis and digital transformation.
