Meet Alex Challis

Alex is a business analyst currently working for Queen Mary, University of London. He has been working as a business analyst for the past 2/3 years. He was interested in upskilling in his role and was originally looking to do the Business Analysis Diploma but when he heard of the opportunity for a government-funded BA apprenticeship, he put himself forward for the programme with the help of his manager at the time. Alex talks about how the apprenticeship has allowed him to uplift his skills to a level expected for business analysts.
