I took the BCS Requirements Engineering certification with Metadata. I have a mixed experience of training courses over a 25+ year career, but my experience with Metadata was among the best. Their training centre is conveniently located near Old Street and offers a fine environment for learning. Their lunch arrangements are very good and nicely relaxed, and all at a very competitive price. Of course the most important thing is the quality of their trainers and ours was excellent. Warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable - not just about the subject but it's practical application. She led the course at the right pace, was engaging and inclusive, and was open to explore questions when needed. I couldn't recommend Metadata more highly and they have become the company I will look to first when planning training, whether for me or my company.

I chose Metadata Training for my Business Analysis Foundation course as they seemed to offer a good quality of teaching for a reasonable price, a conclusion I came to having viewed the course description on their website. I am pleased to say that the website was honest and Metadata were indeed a good choice. The trainer had a wealth of real-world experience of Business Analysis and IT development projects and was able to apply these well to the concepts being taught. I passed the test at the end of the course with a good mark and was really pleased with the end result. Passing this course has equipped me with more tools to do my job as well as a greater understanding of the concepts and terminology involved in business analysis roles. This in turn has increased the confidence I have at work.

I was recently put on two courses with Metadata by work - the Foundation in Business Analysis and Systems Development Essentials. the training was incredibly personable and professional, offering anecdotal evidence to support the practices and methods taught. The best part of the courses were the instructors. They clearly know their stuff and go at exactly the right pace for a class with mixed abilities. The best thing about these courses is that they are delivered and designed to ensure that you can clearly recognise how to apply the teachings in your day to day work. I'd encourage anyone wanting to advance their knowledge and understanding of Business Analysis to take these courses as it's incredibly beneficial, advances your learning, and most of all it's good fun.

I am a software project manager with several years of experience and I can say that there are few trainings in the market worth spending time for. This training is one of them. Thanks to the motivated trainer and structured methodology of Metadata Training this course extended my knowledge in requirements engineering significantly. Duration and format of the course BCS Requirements Engineering is just right for its purpose. Thank you.

I have attended 2 courses with Metadata Training over the last 12 months. The requirements engineering course is for the bread and butter of what I do so my full attendance and successful completion of the course was essential and I am glad to say that I managed both. The tutor, Dawn, came across as very knowledgeable and supported us all throughout the 3 days. Critique of the exam work was explained and comments appreciated. As course is a hands on practical course so plenty of thinking and diagrams to be designed. The Agile for business analyst course by comparison is a theory course based upon the main APMG handbook. I do not settle too well with theory based courses so this course was not for me; I felt I could have bought the course manual direct, memorised it and then sat the exam and still passed. This course has made me rethink the sort of courses that I take from here on in however being accredited with the APMG and understanding Agile in a whole new way has in part led to me getting a job which was a key part to booking my place in the first instance. The main tutor for the course was not present when I was there so I cannot comment on the regular standards for this particular course.

Didn't know if the course was quite right for me as a bit 'left of field' from my work as a data analyst. However, the course was well structured and delivered and it certainly was worth while. However, I did struggle with some of the more technical aspects due to my lack of knowledge/business experience which may have contributed to not passing the exam. Am still glad I undertook the course as knowledge is never wasted.

I chose Metadata Training on the recommendation of a colleague. The venue was great and the fact it was a small group of people attending was great. Everyone felt able to join in with discussions and debates, it was a great learning platform. Since attending the course I have been able to challenge (where appropriate) on the current processes used by the BSA team I am part of. Due to a greater understanding of the role, I am able to push back when asked to perform tasks which, for example, would usually sit with a PM. The lecturer was great. He was engaging and encouraged open discussions on all topics covered. He also gave great advice on exam technique - which was invaluable advice. I'd definitely recommend Metadata and would also use them again in the future.

I was fresher and wanted to do BA Diploma. After much research and speaking to staff I chose Metadata and I got more than what I expected. Everyone was brilliant and supported me, spent more than usual time as I had no experince. I passed all modules, and got my diploma. All staff and lectures were excellent. Course work was very handy and also websimnar was great to give me extra boost and confidence. What more can I say, Thank you Metadat. I am now employed as a Process Analyst. Mehul Bhatt

I chose metadata because of their central London location and the duration of the courses offered (3 days or weekend options). The training was well structured and organised, with the pace being set by the instructors according to the overall group. It's obvious the trainers know their stuff, having worked for many years in the profession they are teaching, and they're really good at relating examples from the course content to the type of roles of the attendees. The course covers everything needed to take the exam at the end with a nice little session to recap before the actual test, and the handouts and homework are really useful. I've recently changed careers, from being a Web Manager (16 years) to a Business Change Manager after attending some of the Business Analysis course modules - and I plan to finish the Diploma course over the next year to cement my future in this new direction. The modular nature of the Business Analysis course enables you to learn in stages, working towards a final Diploma if you choose to, and the course structure/information is easy to follow. The Metadata offices are well laid out for training (and exams!) - and they throw in a really great lunch too! Brigitte Wilson

The courses are taught by knowledgable lecturers. The Business Analyst courses are taught in a way which is focused on helping to pass the exam. Good location and the lunches are a good opportunity to network with other attendees.

I have taken many courses with Metadata. I did the four courses for the certificates which counted towards my BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis, and the Diploma oral exam training (I passed the Diploma oral with no problems). I also did a couple of extra BCS certifications because Metadata were offering them. I have also taken the DSDM Agile PM and Agile BA Foundation and Practitioner certifications. I just love Metadata's training - the cost is very reasonable, the training material is excellent and all the trainers I have had have been excellent. I did not think training and doing exams could be so much fun and also interesting. I am sure that having those qualifications on my CV has made it stand out and helped me to find contracts (especially in these days of jon recuitment by keyword matching). These courses have been an excellent investment.

Dear Simran, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience. We are very happy you liked the teaching and found it useful. Our weekend courses are indeed a good option for people who don't want to or can't take time off work making sure delegates finish the diploma even if their work schedule changes. Keep in touch.

The Commercial Awareness course from Metadata Training was very insightful and gave me a good introduction to the basics of Accounting and how the Financial system works as a whole. The instructor was very experienced and made the course fun to learn. This course enabled me to get jobs in the financial industry and I would definitely recommend others to attend this course.

I was a client of Metadata since the times where the training took place in a living room of one of the teachers and I must admit regardless the venue it is always great fun to come for a training in Metadata. The teachers are very experienced and have a great amount of examples from their own experience and experience of the fellow students. The atmosphere during the training is always great - friendly fellow students, great teachers and amazing venues. I had been to a course both during the week and the weekend and I must say that the weekend training course is much more intense and hard, but the reward is to follow. I have no surprise why Metadata student have such a great pass rate - every smallest question is being thoroughly investigated and explained by the teacher. It is also worth to mention hat the weekend courses are just great as they are mainly visited by the contractors who have a great experience in different industries and who might become your good friends and sometimes provide you with the priceless advice!

I chose Metadata for the full BCS BA Diploma course on what seemed the best curriculum and good value. Unfortunately for me, I paid up front in full just as a considerable price drop was announced. The location for three of the four exams was very good, with good food and a nice atmosphere. The fourth exam was at their own location. Of the four exams and BCS interview, I passed two. I failed one due to a question numbering error on my part (right answers but in the wrong order) and the forth - Commercial Awareness - exam I failed miserably due to an ineptitude at maths. I will say that the pace of that class was way beyond the others, I was left floundering as the majority of the candidates were from a banking or accountancy background. It's not their fault - I should have seen this coming. Dissappointed with my results - I didn't bother to complete the diploma.
