SAQA US 258839 | NQF 5 | Credits 4 | Duration 1 Day
From $508 per delegate

Description

This course equips learners with the foundational principles of requirements modelling, enabling them to create clear, structured models that capture stakeholder needs. Participants will learn to apply basic modelling techniques to support the analysis and documentation of system requirements. The course bridges the gap between business needs and technical solutions through practical, standards-aligned approaches.

Learning Outcomes

  • Apply basic modelling techniques to represent user requirements and system functions.
  • Analyse stakeholder inputs to identify and prioritise key requirements for modelling.
  • Construct simple models such as use case diagrams, activity diagrams, or data flow diagrams.
  • Demonstrate the ability to validate models against business objectives and scope.
  • Implement basic requirements modelling standards and notation in a practical context.

Target Audience

This course is ideal for business analysts, systems analysts, project team members, and anyone involved in eliciting or documenting requirements in a corporate or IT environment.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. No prior modelling experience required.

Course Outline

Day 1: Foundations of Requirements Modelling

Objectives:
• Understand the purpose and importance of requirements modelling in system development.
• Identify different types of requirements (functional, non-functional, constraints).
• Learn basic techniques for eliciting and documenting requirements.
• Apply a simple modelling notation to represent requirements.

Topics:
• Introduction to requirements engineering and modelling.
• Types of requirements: functional, non-functional, and constraints.
• Stakeholder identification and analysis.
• Elicitation techniques: interviews, workshops, observation.
• Modelling basics: use case diagrams, user stories.
• Requirements documentation standards.
• Quality criteria for requirements (SMART).
• Practical exercise: create a simple use case diagram.

Practicals

No practicals for this training.

This course is made up of exercises and case studies delivered alongside the theory — no separate practical sessions are required to complete it.

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course and a final summative test at the end.

Daily Exercises — 30%

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.

Final Test — 70%

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.

Final Total
Component Out of Weight
Daily Average (multiple choice) 100% 30%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice) 100% 70%
Final Total 100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

Certificate of Completion

Awarded to delegates who achieve an overall mark of 50% or higher on the Final Total (Daily Average 30% + Final Test 70%).

How it works
  • Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
  • Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
  • You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
  • If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.
Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
