Having proper training goes a long way to being successful enabled in your Pega Application development career! Do not short change yourself. :-)

I know the importance of training. But unfortunately I cannot afford the $3K training for BAE and therefore the question.

Thanks.

Understand... so I'll be a bit more constructive here.  As a Pega BA, you will more likely need to be equipped with the knowledge for capturing requirements and specifications into Pega 7 through the concept of "Direct Capture of Objectives (DCO). So you may want to start looking at some of the articles here:

https://pdn.pega.com/browse/prpc-topics/implementation-methodology

Next, check out the exam blueprint for Pega Certified Business Architect from a link that can be found here: https://home.pearsonvue.com/pegasystems, and use it to identify the topics that you need to be familiar with as a Pega BA. Then, go to https://pdn.pega.com/prpc-topics and look up all the necessary topic contents.

Hope this is more helpful than my earlier message which was replied when I was almost going to sleep. :-)

Good luck!

Thank you very much for your guidance. It is really helpful. It clearly gives me a direction to concentrate.

Is it possible to download a local/Personal copy of Pega to practice whatever I learn?

Thanks

The website to obtain a copy of the Personal Edition of Pega 7 is https://pdn.pega.com/support/downloads/personal-edition
