"Doing my BA Job Academy training with e-Careers has been a remarkable journey. I started my BA training in Feb 2021, I have completed all my certificates and exams, I am now in the process of getting a BA job and moving to a new career. The e-Careers virtual training has been good and the materials up-to-date. The e-Careers BA Job Academy is complete BA training that will teach and give you all the skills required to succeed in a BA role.
