I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Amatis Training! As a self-paced learner pursuing the International Diploma in Business Analysis, I couldn't have chosen a better training provider. From start to finish, Amatis Training has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. First and foremost, their online platform is incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. Navigating through the course materials, accessing resources, and tracking my progress has been seamless, thanks to their well-designed interface. The clarity and organisation of the content have made the learning process both efficient and enjoyable. Furthermore, the quality of the course content is outstanding. Each module is meticulously crafted to cover all essential aspects of Business Analysis, providing comprehensive insights and practical knowledge with their thorough explanations, real-world examples, and interactive exercises. What truly sets Amatis Training apart, however, is their exceptional support and guidance. Despite being a self-paced program, I never felt alone in my learning journey. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive, always ready to address any questions or concerns promptly. Their dedication to their students' success is truly commendable.

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.

I've been working towards the International Diploma in Business Analysis, completing 4 modules and the associated exams through the Amatis online self-study materials. I've found the Amatis portal really easy to use and the course materials easy to follow and comprehensive. The case studies in the materials are really useful in providing examples for the concepts/techniques that are covered. The mock exams and previous papers that are part of the course are also really useful when it comes to prepping for the exams. On a personal note, the team of Amatis have been helpful with support when needed.

Amatis Training provide an excellent personal service which is why I chose them as my training provider for the BA Diploma. Martin is always at hand to assist with any questions and goes out of his way to help you succeed. I don’t think I could have passed the foundation modules without the support and material provided by Amatis training. Thank you!

Very impressed with the quality of service from all members at Amatis Training Academy who have supported me hugely as I studied towards obtaining my International Diploma in Business Analysis. I completed three Practitioner level exams (by self-study approach using the app, which is very well-structured, includes useful visuals/audio to enhance the learning experience and is extremely convenient for evening revision away from the laptop), followed by an oral exam which was made so much easier having attended the virtual oral preparation workshop led by Martin, highly recommended as his approach to tackling the interview questions made it an absolute breeze. Overall their services & support A+++ and I will be back very soon when I plan to tackle the Advanced Diploma.

I am currently studying the International Diploma in Business Analysis with Amatis and I have to say, so far, the training has been brilliant. Having just achieved my 3rd BCS certificate today I have no issues at all with highly recommending Amatis training. The instructors and service have been brilliant, and I am very much looking forward to my next course. Special thanks to Martin and Maria for their fantastic instruction and patience and for getting me to a first time pass on each of my courses!
