Manish Kumar Jalan, India

I am delighted to share that I successfully cleared the CBAP® exam, following my CBAP® training with Multisoft Virtual Academy. I am now a Certified Business Analysis Professional. When I initially enrolled for this training, I was with the idea to undergo this just for PDU hours. But when the first training session commenced, it gave me an insight about the program and the need for training. The trainer was very educative and informative and being himself a CBAP®, he was able to answer all of the practical Scenarios that we had in our mind. Also, the last 20 minutes Q&A session at the end of the training was very helpful and it clearly showed where we are and where we should be. At the beginning of every training, the trainer called us to ensure that we were comfortable attending the session. The training advisor very well facilitated all the sessions and kept us pre-informed about every detail. The study material also was concise and clear. I would recommend all CBAP® aspirants to take this training not just for PDU hours but also to have a different experience that will help them mold their BA careers in a positive way.

Balaji Ranganathan, India

I opted for the online training sessions because they were convenient to my schedule and the staff at Multisoft was very accommodating, considering the difference in time zones. Training with them made me understand the RHCSA objectives clearly. For example, there were times where even after I read the book and its examples, I still did not get a full grasp of the task or command. I would ask my trainer about it and he would elaborate more on the task and share details that were not in the main page or help documentation. Now that I received my RHCSA certification, I plan on taking more classes with Multisoft because they’re affordable, professional and they care about your success.
