In today's dynamic setting, data regarding any subjective domain has become the new gold mine. In such a case, mastering the techniques and methods to extract, configure and analyze different data sets has become an important skill to acquire.

Shaheryar Brohi
(Participant of Diploma in Digital Marketing)

I made a right choice by opting for Diploma in Digital Marketing at IBA. The kind of interest in imparting knowledge by our teachers was commendable as everyone of us now specializes in one or the other subject. I personally see myself as a Data Scientist in future as Sir Imran Batada’s course Data Analytics has brought the best out in me and that’s all due to his interest and belief in my capabilities. The course selection is speed to market as I learnt a lot in Social Media Marketing and applied the same practically during my Industry Project under the supervision of Mr. Asif Iqbal who has helped and mentored me at every step of the project. And finally a big shout-out for Mr. Mizyal Wahid, Mr. Kashif Nagi and Mr. Muntazir Haider for their dedication in imparting knowledge during this diploma course.

Muhammad Junaid
(Participant of Diploma in Big Data Analytics)

"IBA took the initiative of starting diploma at the very appropriate time when the field of Big Data is emerging in Pakistan with certain companies having already taken big data initiatives.

My motivation as an accountant cum auditor was to explore this field and have some hands on experience to be able to apply that practically to ease and add more value to my analysis and reports that we prepare for Senior Management and the Board.

This course introduced us to a world beyond MS Excel. For data cleansing and ETL in R to presentation in power BI and then taking further to predictions in machine learning, it was all in all a good package."

I would thank Sir Imran for his overall support throughout our course in addressing our concerns and making sure that we achieve the diploma objectives.

Umair Ismail
Deputy Chief Accountant, Pakistan Petroleum Limited.
(Participant of Diploma in Big Data Analytics)

There is a lot of buzz around the Big Data in the industry. As a finance professional, navigating the entire technologies used in the Big Data was impossible for me without a proper structured certification. The Big Data Diploma offered by the Institute of Business Administration (IBA) is a unique as well as methodical program. Unlike majority of similar programs, IBA does not focus on a particular solution or technology instead it provide a holistic overview of almost all technologies relevant for this discipline. Therefore, this certification has made me a solution focused data scientist instead of a specific technology or domain professional.

Muhammad Hussain
(Participant of Diploma in ERP)

The diploma in ERP system enhance my knowledge & practical skills very positively, 80% of the classes has Labs & hands on exposures of the ERP systems. The new things I learned are as follow:
The use of open source ERP systems/ Software & the integration of various systems in an organization.
SAP functional user of Financials & MM module.
I have learn to take some initiative to implementation of Oracle R12 application from the scratch through out the configurations.
I highly recommended to take this course to those, who plan to start or switch their careers to ERP implementations & need some exposure of top tier ERP systems like SAP & Oracle (applicable if IBA not modify the course outline of the course "Diploma in ERP Systems")

SYED MOAZZAM
(Participant of Diploma in ERP)

The course was an excellent opportunity to learn and to elevate business infrastructure .The instructors have the right personality, enthusiasm and knowledge for this course, very easy to understand and they used excellent real life examples. There were non-technical and highly technical people in this class and they got us to understand each other. And last this is especially for Sir Imran, “Your class was something I looked forward to waking up to every Sunday! I appreciate your generosity and your authenticity with your students.”

M. ZOHAIB
(Participant of Diploma in ERP)

It was a great learning platform.
Four month was too short program for 6 enrich courses. All the faculty members are professional, but the way Mr Shams Zia lead the Oracle ERP was at its best. I wish the session video must be recorded and there must be a portal to view recorded lectures. Since all the candidate are professional, in case of missing a single class, candidate miss a lot to learn.
I suggest IBA should arrange and provide idesk for SAP program.
I wish the duration of course extended to minimum 6 months for each course. Or 12 month for all three courses. In such way we can deep dive ERP and become functional consultant in true means.

WASEEM AHMED QAZI
(Participant of Diploma in ERP)

As a student of diploma in ERP, I would appreciate the efforts of Mr. Imran Batada (Director – CICT) for providing such a platform to students and professionals for enhancing their ERP concepts and skills.
My experience as a student of ERP (diploma program) was lucrative, I have gained invaluable experience from ERP program faculty and I would also mention that the course content was well designed for individuals who are new to the field of finance and supply chain management.
One of the suggestions, I would give regarding the length of the program is to extend its duration from four months to six months for better learning outcome because sometimes it gets difficult to balance between work and study.
In the end it was a worthwhile experience and I’m thankful to my teachers for their genuine effort and effective teaching. Their practical experience in the field combined with their conceptual understanding of ERP was a major take away for me.
