  • Third-party endorsement: Noble Inc. is an Endorsed Education Provider (EEP) under the International Institute for Business Analysis (IIBA).  Its BA course-line has been approved by the IIBA and qualifies the trainee to credits towards CBAP™ certification (Certified Business Analysis Professional). As well, ACRA/Noble Inc. has been granted the designation of IBM ® Advanced Business Partner in recognition of its role in helping companies implement IT best practices.
  • Written by experts: Our chief course designer has served as SME for the National IT Apprenticeship System (NITAS) BA initiative developed jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Labor and the CompTIA, is a writer of the acclaimed book UML for the IT Business Analyst and currently acts as reviewer for the IIBA’s Book of Knowledge (BABOK). Our writers are experienced BAs with extensive experience both in the field and as educators.
  • No fluff: We started our line of courses out of a frustration with the amount of ‘fluff’ contained in corporate training.  We understand how valuable your time is.  Our courses have been pared down to contain only the actionable training you need to do your job. No-ble, get it?
  • Focus on the IT Business Analyst: We live and breathe Business Analysis.  Everything we teach is focused on the perspective of the IT Business Analyst and what he or she needs to know in order to improve interviewing, requirements analysis, testing and documentation skills.
  • ‘Real-time’ learning: Most course providers organize their course content by topic.  ACRA/Noble course are organized chronologically: in each, the trainee walks through an IT project, learning what they need to know when they need to know them. The result is a much more effective training experience that can be readily applied on-the-job.
  • Group facilitation sessions throughout our courses emphasize a team-based approach to development. Each trainee gains practical experience facilitating and interviewing.
  • Agile and iterative: Our courses advocate an Agile, Iterative approach to development, in keeping with industry best practices (MSF, IBM RUP, PMBOK, etc.)
  • Job Aids: Comprehensive printed material including valuable job aids, examples, glossaries, tips as well as agendas and lists of questions for each type of interview session.
  • Diverse examples: In keeping with the practical nature of the program, the course content draws from direct experience working in a variety of sectors, including banking, accounting, call centers, education and NGOs.
  • Focused content: includes the tools and techniques most commonly used to get the job done.
  • UML 2 Standardization: We believe there is a need to standardize the way IT teams communicate.  The UML standard has been incorporated into the methodologies of today’s major players – including Microsoft and IBM - and underlies the most popular software development approaches today, including use cases and Object-Oriented Analysis.  Our use of a consistent standard means that if you send your employees to our courses, they will learn to speak the same language, reducing the chance of miscommunication. And it means that your organization will be able to communicate effectively with the world’s major external IT vendors and service providers.  What about other standards?  We introduce them as needed by showing the trainee how to convert UML diagrams to other formats - such as IDEF, used by the U.S. defense dept.
