This course is primarily concerned with modelling systems from a variety of perspectives. It requires delegates to construct three main types of model reflecting these individual perspectives and to describe the interactions between them. The method followed for modelling is based on a structured approach. Modelling systems is an aid to the design of robust flexible and maintainable systems, and a communication mechanism for deployment and operational use.
This is a 3 day course.
There are no pre-requisites for the course.
Delegates can take an optional one-hour written examination at the end of the course. Successful candidates are awarded the ISEB Certificate in Systems Modelling Techniques.
Systems Modelling Techniques is a PRACTITIONER specialist module in the BCS Diploma in Business Analysis, which is an internationally recognised qualification offered by the British Computer Society (BCS).
For information on this Diploma, and the requirements to obtain it, please view the
BCS Diploma in Business Analysis page or the
BCS Diploma in Business Analysis Datasheet.
This course will enable delegates to:
- Justify the need for IT system modelling and modelling techniques
- Explain why it is important to model IT system requirements from different perspectives
- Develop models of system functionality and system data
- Develop a dynamic model
- Evaluate selected models against business objectives and system requirements
- Appreciate how the selected models inter-relate with each other
- Describe how the products of analysis feed into the design and development of a system
- Prepare for the ISEB Certificate in Systems Modelling Techniques
Those who are likely to become involved in business analysis or systems development at any level, including:
- Business Analysts and Systems Analysts
- Developers
- Project Managers and Team Leaders
- Quality Assurance and Quality Control Managers
- Release Managers and Test Managers

Do you want:
- a training course run on your premises (reducing accommodation and travel fees)?
- a course written or tailored specifically for your staff?
- a standard course run just for your staff?
Do you have:
- four or more people to train?
- a definite time at which the training needs to be provided?
Then you're probably looking for "in-house" training.
We can run any of our standard courses just for you. If you require something special, or a combination of several courses,
we can discuss this with you and tailor an event designed to meet your needs.
These courses can be run at a time convenient to you, either on your premises or at a separate venue.
The location can be specified by you or we can recommend a suitable venue if you prefer.
Need more help?
We can advise on combinations of training courses which typically prove the most effective. We can, if you wish, perform a full training needs analysis
of your staff, to help you to identify training needs, and the programmes of training to put into place to meet both your current and future needs.
What to do next...
- Decide what you want from this training - what are your objectives?
- Decide which course(s) you need, or whether something tailored is required;
- Decide approximately when you would like the training to be run;
- Ascertain when your people can be available and how many people in total you need to train.
Then please
contact us to discuss your needs.
