The Archist Difference

Best to hear it from our past trainees

"Very effective preparation for the CBA exam: This course has proved extremely useful in preparing the CBA exam which I passed first time. It is clear, well-structured, and easy to follow. It helps focus on the relevant information. It also provides links to various materials and book references. Navid and his team are very supportive and helpful too. I strongly recommend taking it."

The mentor of the course "Navid Kheradmand"  made it really easy to comprehend the fundamentals of how a business architecture is created and what it entails. Case guide and the examples in different sections clearly helped to picture how the concepts are put to use. I am glad I have taken this course that has set me up for my next steps in the journey. Thank you Archist and Navid!"
