Why BA Hub

Training that matches the real job.

Official BA training teaches you the theory. The job asks you to talk to people, find the real problem and produce the work. Jo saw that gap in eight years as a BA and in coaching new BAs, and built BA Hub to close it. Here you practise the real work before you have to do it for real.

Project Maple · your first BA project

Step into a real BA project. Today.

Talk to the stakeholders, find out what is really going wrong, and produce the work a BA produces on the job.

Mock interviews on BA Hub

Mock interviews

Pick the kind of BA job you're going for, from Junior BA to Data BA or a BA apprenticeship, and go through the whole hiring process. Prepare first: read the job advert, find out what each interviewer is looking for and learn the shape of a good STAR answer (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Then face three interviews, with HR, the BA manager and the boss. You answer each question out loud on camera, and the interviewer follows up on what you missed, just like the real thing. Then you compare your answer with a strong one, hear Jo's coaching on what the interviewer is listening for, and get a debrief on how you did.

Preparing and your first two questions are free. All of it is £29 to keep, or in the year pass.

HubFlow: draw any BA diagram

Every diagram type a BA actually uses, in one tool: BPMN process maps, swimlanes, wireframes, use case diagrams, entity relationship diagrams and data flow diagrams. Each type comes with a guided walkthrough so you always know what you're building and why. Export to Visio, Lucidchart or draw.io, and when you're done, Billie checks the diagram for common mistakes and missing pieces.

Free to try with an account. All of it comes with the year pass.

  • Stakeholders, politics and meetings that actually work
  • Using AI in your BA work, and what it can’t do for you
  • Your portfolio, your first role and your first ninety days
