I had an excellent experience with Amatis. The training materials, particularly the app, were outstanding. The support offered outside of course hours was very helpful and demonstrated a high level of commitment. The staff is incredibly friendly, creating a positive learning environment. Bill, our trainer, made the course exceptionally enjoyable and engaging. His fantastic stories added context to the materials, making the learning experience memorable. I highly recommend Amatis for their quality training and supportive approach.

My experience with Amatis is more than amazing! The online course led by Martin was perfectly organized combining theory and practice. The platform with the needed information, the samples, and the mock exams were very helpful and more than enough during the period of self-preparation. The communication with the team was always so easy, friendly and on time, so I felt that they are the best choice for BA-related trainings. With Amatis even the process of scheduling the exam is very easy. They create very friendly environment during the exam, so you can be calm and confident. I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to the whole Amatis team (especially to Martin and Sarah)! You will be my choice in future as well!

The team at Amatis Training really are exceptional. I was slightly nervous coming onto this training course, having only just secured a role in Business Analysis, and thought I may not understand some of the material. I couldn't have been more wrong, and this is only because of the attentiveness and thorough explanations from Martin, who went over and above my expectations of a trainer. Martin was not only an expert in Business Analysis tools and practices, but he created a welcoming, relaxed learning environment too. Amatis made virtual learning extremely accessible, including an easy to navigate portal and a great exam environment. If you have any doubts about which training provider to choose, I can assure you this is one of the best learning environments I've experienced.

Sarah and Martin at Amatis were really friendly, super speedy at responding and always happy to help. The resources were a really high standard, far better than other course providers I've used before! I plan to use Amatis for my next module/qualification, so I can safely say that I'd recommend them :)

5 Feb 2024: I am training from overseas and Amatis' online system really helps. I've been using both their website version (on my desktop) and Android version (on my phone) while commuting. The course materials for my BCS certification training are professionally prepared. What I appreciate most is that their staffs are really willing to help, especially Martin who is always very responsive to my questions and swiftly helped me sort out the most suitable learning options and exam arrangement. 7 July 2024: Today I passed my 4th exam for getting my BCS Diploma. Really want to thank Martin for their effort in terms of the comprehensive study material and Sarah for professionally instructing the exams. I am now starting to prepare for the oral exam required by BCS. 12 Aug 2024: Passed my oral exam and attained the BCS Diploma in Business Analysis. Thanks Martin for holding the oral exam workshop and his online revision material, which helped me to realise certain important areas from the syllabus that I have overlooked. Really appreciated the effort from the Amatis team in the past 6 months for helping me to gain the necessary knowledge to pass all the exams.

The platform was easy to use, the material clear, and the oral preparation workshop indispensable. Martin is passionate about Business Analysis, and was somehow born to do what he does! I highly recommend Amatis, and am very grateful for all their support.

Nice and easy to learn online using the software. You can also use the mobile app which is really handy. The content is in bite-sized pieces and there is audio available too. I like to use a mixture of the 2 or have the audio on when I'm reading, I find it helps me concentrate. There is an exam slot available every week which you can take when you are ready, so you can really go at your own pace. The module learning checkpoints and sample papers are really good to practice for the exam. Support and response times of the team are also really speedy!
