A little about your background

I’m a banker with over 6 years experience, I have BA experience across the 6 years but not core BA work, this is the reason I decided to make a transition to Business Analysis. Tech has always been an interest to me growing up and Business Analysis is bridging the gap between were I am now and where I want to be in the tech space.

Your experience during the 6 weeks training..about the tools and project

During the 6 weeks, I learnt a lot especially collaborative work, communication which are like core skills for a BA. I also learnt how to use useful applications and hands on use of them. I literally feel like a more techy person.

About your trainer

Our trainer was really sweet, patient, and she takes her time to explain any thing that is not clear. She literally made sure our money didn’t waste.

Omo! LinkedIn is not ready for my profile ?

Ibukun – Finland

A little about your background

I have a bachelors degree in communication Studies, master’s degree in media studies and also some years of experience as a human resources person . I want to transition to tech fully thats the reason why i chose to apply for the BA course with Heels and Tech and it has been a worthwhile experience

Your experience during the 6 weeks training..about the tools and project

Well as usual when you start something new, something you have no clue about, one tends to get confused and frustrated at the beginning but as you give yourself into the whole process then you start to understand more and more and you start enjoying the whole process. That’s how my process has been, also the workload has been tedious but it’s worth the time and effort at the end of the day.

About your trainer

Petrina is just an awesome human being so positive and she takes her time with us teaching us like kids ?. she is someone everybody would like to have as a teacher and she relates with us like we have known each other for a long time. I must say this though at the beginning of the class i didn’t feel this way and i guess its was because the whole course was new and confusing to me ?

About Heels and Tech

I liked the whole idea behind the company heels and tech because they give you the practical hands-on approach to their courses. The courses are valid in the real world and also the owner Bisola has been such a wonderful friend? to me and mentor , she relates with me and everyone like she is family and we like that about her. The whole company is just too good to be true, the more reason i am coming back for more courses and of course Heels and Tech has become part of my life and story.

Finally about the renewed mindset

Now I believe that nothing you set your mind to can’t be done or achieved as long as you endure the horrid beginnings there is a light at the end of the tunnel. BA for me has changed my mindset that anything is possible as long as you want it for yourself. A month ago i had no idea of what BA is but now i can say i have more than a clue and also hands-on experience which will help me in the real world.

Kefe – Lagos, Nigeria.

A little about your background

I am a hospital pharmacist, practicing for over 18 years, with a background in clinical pharmacy, public health, supply chain, research and retail sales. I am open to new challenges, hence I look for every opportunity to take on new projects and make improvements around my workspace; especially in the area of improving work process with the
use of technology. Although I have acquired some computer skills on my own over the years , I knew I needed more professional touch to improve and strengthen them. In addition, I needed to achieve this by leveraging on an interactive training program. One blessed day, I came across Heels and tech on Instagram. I liked their vision and I decided to make enquiries, the next day, H and T was being promoted on You tube by a reliable channel and that was what strengthened my resolve to sign up for the BA course, even without having the funds at that time.

Your experience during the 6 weeks training..about the tools and project

The six weeks training I had, went by like a flash. I hardly realized that 6 weeks had passed because the training was beyond hands-on. We had a project to deliver in such a short timeframe and this completely transformed me into a Business Analyst by the end of the 2nd week! The tools were awesome and I wish I knew about them earlier, as my previous projects would have been much easier. I got to learn how to use MS office, Jira, Canva and lucid chart. I really liked creating the process flows and prototypes! At the end of the course, the “job strategies” sessions were super
amazing! I didn’t realize that my professional background was much more than I thought it was!

About your trainer

I would still be making an understatement if I made any comment about Petrina. She is so soft spoken, yet highly professional and firm! She demanded a positive mindset and an input of 110% from us, and she never settled for less! Very energetic and available to all, even on a personal level. Henceforth, she’s my role model and gold standard for an instructor.

About heels and tech, this is a great platform I must say. When I found this platform I was convinced that I was going to do those courses. I actually had the plans to do three courses before this year runs out. But I chose two do to the change of my job. So BA now and Product Management later. Perhaps you guys can let me know when this program begins. Please keep up the good work to raise awareness about African women generally, especially in Nigeria, so that they can be aware of their potential and bear in mind that their jobs don’t end in the kitchen and the other rooms.

Finally about the renewed mindset

The mindset I have now is to keep progressing. What i have learnt is a solid foundation of things to come. Although I may not look for a job as a BA explicitly, I’ll find ways to apply what I have learnt in my workspace when some opportunities come up.

Your experience during the 6 weeks training..about the tools and project

I had been hearing that tech is the new oil but I was very scared of coding, left to me- anything tech involved coding, until I stumbled on HeelsandTech, a platform that helps people transform into tech which necessarily doesn’t require coding. It made me happy and I was inquisitive. So, I paid for the BA class and it started.

The training was enlightening, there were a lot of tools to explore, many of them I had never heard of before and it was so nice to know that tools like that existed. I love challenges, so I was happy to participate and learn a lot during class activities. The project we worked on was eye opening, I’ve seen websites but I’ve never really known how it comes to play. So, going through the entire process one after the other was such a delight.

About your trainer

Our trainer, was so calm and patient. She doesn’t mind going over something over and over again, you must understand it. She carries everyone a long. She explains well and made the whole process seamless for us. She is very good too, she knows her onions and she’s very informed. She knows her job and I’m definitely aspiring to be like her. She’s fantastic.

Elizabeth Adesanya – Montreal

A little about your background

I studied Secretarial Administrative and also have Masters in International Business Management.  I worked in the Financial Service sector for 15 years in Nigeria before relocation to Canada and my area of specialisation is majorly Customer Service and Administrative due to the fact that I have passionate solving problems.

Your experience during the 8 weeks training..about the tools and project

At the beginning it seemed it was going to be tough and difficult for me to catch up.  The fact that I was learning new things made it so interesting and educating.  I had to put in extra hours to catch up with the class.  Practising the trails on a regular basis is such a fun and ensuring that all assignments were reviewed before the next class really helped.

Wosilat – Abuja, Nigeria

A little about your background

The only job I have known/done is being a teacher and I also bake (that’s something I am passionate about). I always had a flair for tech related things, but I always shoved it aside because I thought it was going to be difficult making the switch and another thing that stopped me was that I  did not know where to begin. But thanks to heels and tech, I joined the telegram group and the rest is history. I am looking forward to when I will land my first tech job *dancing*.

Your experience during the 6 weeks training..about the tools and project

My experience so far has been eye opening, phenomenal and interesting. I am not surprised I enjoyed my training, because when I put my mind to something I believe I can achieve it with the help of God. Salesforce is a Customer Relationship Management tool( there are others) and CRM in a lay man’s term helps to manage a company’s customer data. The interesting thing is that there is a free platform for you to learn all you need to know about the Salesforce where you learn hands on, but taking the course has taught me more than I would have learnt on the free platform, because you are learning from people who are already doing it. I have learnt to;

I will use Facebook as an example, when you forget your password it a salesforce admin that resets it and a whole lot of other things.

About your trainer

 My trainer is a rare kind of person. He is extremely patient, for a beginner like me, he has taken his time to bring this whole thing down to my level and made it easy to understand. He is an exceptional instructor and also very knowledgeable in his field. Learning under him has been worthwhile.

About Heels and Tech

I came across heelsandtech while I roamed the streets of Instagram. I loved how she made delving into the tech world seem so easy and her focus is more on ladies.

I have a strong believe that no knowledge is a waste.

Finally about the renewed mindset

Covid 19 has brought about a lot change in the world, I said to myself there is no better time to start this than now. I also want to be a part of the women in tech. I won’t forget to say thank you to Bisola for this platform and hopefully someday we will make you proud.
