As documented by Robinson Ifeakachukwu Ebunu

I am an Economist, Business Analyst, and Support Analyst at Gexel Telecom. I have experience working with cross-functional teams in the development, documentation, and delivery of process innovations, driving the attainment of business goals for three years. I live in Montreal, Canada and I hold a Master’s degree in Economics from Afe Babalola University.

Motivation for Certification

I recently upskilled myself through the Business Analysis Master’s Program with Simplilearn.  I upskilled myself to enhance my knowledge of Business Analysis and get certified. While working in my role as an analyst, I realized that I needed to upskill myself to stand out from the crowd and grow in my career. Therefore, I chose Simplilearn and took the course on Business Analysis. 

Stand-Out Course Features

Simplilearn had various unique features that made the learning journey smooth and fruitful. I  liked that the course provided hands-on experience with a practice lab that helped me implement the knowledge in my current role. The industry experts as instructors gave me a lot of exposure to various case studies of different industries. I learned a lot of things about my field because of the comprehensive curriculum that the course offers.

GOT NEW PROJECTS

As documented by Carlos Linares

I came to the United States from Peru 17 years ago, and today I work as the assistant professor of human resources and management and international business at Midway University in the Bluegrass State of Kentucky. I hold a Ph.D. in human resources and leadership from Sullivan University, and before coming to the U.S., I was a college professor in my home country

My advanced degree and teaching background have made me passionate about learning new things and improving my skills. About six years ago, I decided to become a subject matter expert in business intelligence and took the necessary steps to gain that knowledge. My research took me to Simplilearn’s Post Graduate Program in Business Analysis in partnership with Purdue University

Before enrolling in Simplilearn’s Post Graduate Program in Business Analysis, I had zero knowledge about using tools such as excel, tableau, power BI and power query. After completing the course, I was able to use these applications properly. It proved to be a total career game-changer. I’m excited to report that starting in Fall 2023, the university is putting me in charge of a new department focused on business analysis. I even got a salary bump. Simplilearn’s flexible online course provided an ideal upskilling experience.

GOT NEW PROJECTS

As documented by Kiran Raka

My keen interest in analytics drew me to dive further into the field. With over a decade’s work experience, I was delighted to work at Infosys as a Business System Analyst until my dependency on others began to bother me. The long-time yearning to learn data visualization tools and the latest things in business analytics grew, and I began to look for the best course online.  

My Career Journey So Far

I started my career in India in 2006 as a developer and became a project manager. Later I moved to the US in 2014 and joined Infosys as a Business System Analyst. I have 13+ years of experience. 

The Challenge

When I moved to the US, I faced many difficulties with the change in software and other things, because of which I was dependent on other teams for my projects. I had to seek assistance in creating tableau dashboards and other reports. The requirement to quickly create dashboards and Excel was a part of my day-to-day life. So, I began my quest for a good course that could provide me with the in-demand skills. 

The Simplilearn Solution

I just googled and found that Simplilearn is the world’s No. 1 Online Bootcamp. It was pretty impressive when I went through the website and saw the details. I planned to pursue postgraduate studies, but post-graduation courses generally take one year. So, I took this Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) course. 

I had always thought working and learning simultaneously would be difficult, but with Simplilearn, the classes were on weekends, which I could easily manage. My experience with the Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) course program was quite impressive, the faculty was too good, and I felt great that I had registered at the right place.  

Seamless Learning With Simplilearn

The learning journey was quite interesting. I liked the study material. Moreover, whenever I had any questions, I could raise a support ticket and have my project-related support. They shared sample projects for guidance. It really helped me understand the requirements and create and submit my project. In addition to the excellent material and the faculties, Simplilearn’s timing and test assessment were well-organized. I thoroughly enjoyed upskilling and have registered for the Salesforce course program that will begin in March.

As documented by Saurav Chopra 

I pursued Simplilearn’s PGP in Digital Transformation program to upskill and get promoted. After completing the program, I received a 25% salary increment.

My Career Journey So Far

I am a seasoned digital marketing professional with a working experience of more than 8 years. I started work with hitbullseye as a digital marketing head for about four years before I joined Accenture in 2018. At Accenture, my job role was that of a Google Ads Specialist. In 2019, I joined Publicis Groupe as a Business Manager. 

After a couple of promotions, I am currently the company’s Group Head – Performance Marketing. As a part of my current job, I have successfully led a team of 15-20 people, strategized media plans and campaigns, worked closely with media partners such as Google and YouTube, and managed a budget of $200 million across search and social in specific quarters. 

The Challenge

I like to keep myself updated and skilled with new advancements. Besides gaining knowledge and enhancing my skill set, I was looking for a promotion or higher pay in my career. So, I decided to upskill with the Post Graduate Program in Digital Transformation offered by Simplilearn in collaboration with Purdue University. I expected the course to help me further enrich my digital marketing expertise and act as a progressing step for my career.  

The Simplilearn Solution

It was an amazing learning experience with Simplilearn. The combination of self-paced learning and classroom instruction resulted in efficient learning. The online resources were a great help to me. Numerous online classrooms enhanced my knowledge, followed by case studies and practice exams, helping me gain confidence. 

The chapter-ending quizzes, simulation exams, scenario-based assessments, and case studies were simply amazing. The support system – dedicated account managers, teaching staff, and support staff – were helpful. The curriculum was extremely comprehensive, helped me understand every concept thoroughly, and prepared me to tackle real-life applications.
