This course equips learners with the skills to effectively manage and communicate requirements within a project or business environment. Participants will learn to elicit, analyse, document, and validate requirements while ensuring clear communication with stakeholders. The course bridges the gap between technical and non-technical teams to ensure shared understanding and successful project outcomes.
This course is ideal for business analysts, project managers, systems analysts, and any professionals involved in defining or managing requirements. It is also suitable for team members who need to communicate requirements clearly across departments.

This course is made up of exercises and case studies delivered alongside the theory — no separate practical sessions are required to complete it.
Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course and a final summative test at the end.
Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 30% to the final total.
On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 70% to the overall mark.
| Component | Out of | Weight |
