The BCS Certificate in Modelling Business Processes (MBP) course provides delegates with an overview of the principles and techniques of business process modelling. Analysing organisations from a process viewpoint is now seen as a key skill for a business analyst. The analyst should be able to model the organisation from various levels using a modelling technique and notation. A clearly visualised organisational model is a powerful tool for making effective change. We use the BPMN standard during the course.
