https://sfbatraining.com/ Step 1 Pursue an undergraduate degree in the appropriate field. Virtually all business analysts have bachelor's degrees, although many go onto achieve master's degrees and other advanced education. They often come from academic backgrounds that include undergraduate degrees in accounting, finance, English or business administration. Step 2 Supplement your primary education with some IT courses. While pursuing your undergraduate degree, you should make sure to supplement your education with computer programming, computer science and related courses. Different business analyst niches require different levels of computer proficiency and technical prowess, but business analysts generally serve as the bridge between a company's core departments and its IT department. The more computer and technical education a person has, the better prepared that person will be when it comes time to look for a job. Step 3 Get certified. Even though a certification is not mandatory, it will give you a competitive edge in the job market. For many, the first step is to get your Salesforce admin certification. You can also get your International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) certification. Step 4 Gain real-world experience. You can get an early jump by pursuing summer internships in related fields while you're still studying. If your school requires or encourages volunteer work, you can offer your skills and time pro bono for a small company that may not be able to afford a more advanced business analyst. If you're already working in a different capacity such as salesforce admin, ask your supervisors and managers to consider you for projects that require business analysis, or to put you on a team that includes a working business analyst. Step 5 Continue your education while you're working. By this stage in the process, you would have already gained enough experience as Salesforce business analyst and you should aim to become a salesforce consultant. Getting more certifications will help you stay competitive and increase your income.
