Why Trainees Have Studied with Supermums
I wanted to supercharge my Salesforce learning but i needed a training course that would offer the guidance and accountability that I needed. I saw Heather at Dreamforce and was so impressed with her passion and vision but more importantly, I was impressed by the structure of the Supermums programme.
I enrolled on the Supermums Marketing Cloud course because I wanted to update my marketing technology skills and gain some hands on experience in Salesforce Marketing Cloud. I have learnt so much and the course has increased my knowledge and confidence about Salesforce and marketing automation technology!
"After completing my Admin Cert I really wanted the skills to design new systems and respond to different stakeholder needs throughout the CRM implementation process. I've really enjoyed the Consultancy Skills course as it has given me the confidence to deliver with a clear implementation process for projects, with tools and techniques. It's a great flexible course to fit around my schedule with also the option to stay in touch via chatter and the weekly group coaching sessions."
Supermums reminded me that I'm still me. I still have all of those strengths and can apply them in any role in Salesforce. I really felt that having someone be your champion and encourage you to see the strengths that you bring to the table, that and the Supermums community....it's life changing!

What are the time commitments?
- You would be required to commit 20% of your paid work time to learning, completing BA tasks and portfolio documentation related to a Business Analyst role and apprenticeship. For example, if you worked 40hrs a week this would equate to 8 hrs a week over a 15 month period. If you worked less than 5 days a week this time would be pro-rated.
- At the time of enrollment onto the Apprenticeship it is expected that activities related to a Business Analysis would be part of your normal job role and responsibilities, but by embarking on this learning journey it will enable you to spend 20% of your time on BA related learning, projects and tasks that will be of direct value to your company.
- All tasks related to the 20% must be tracked and eligible to successfully pass the apprenticeship. The 20% of the job tasks need be during working hours and they can include:
- Theory – such as lectures, role playing, online learning, simulation exercises or product training.
- Practical Training – apprentices taking part in activities they wouldn’t usually do during the week such as shadowing, mentoring, industry visits or competitions.
- Learning support and time spent writing assignments
- Creating a business project
- Attending meetings which they would not normally attend to get an insight into other areas of the business and see how this impacts their part.
- As a formal accredited course it is essential that learners are committed to attending training sessions, completing the online learning and creating portfolio documentation ready for assessment to successfully pass the course.
What is a Business Analyst and why are the skills important?
An IS (Information Systems) Business Analyst is an advisory role that provides a critical layer of challenge and scrutiny for organisations who wish to deliver IS change successfully.
Leading industry research highlights that the main reasons why CRM projects fail is not related to technical knowledge, but because of:
- poor business analysis
- inefficient project management
- low executive sponsorship and ineffective change management.
>If you are managing a Salesforce implementation as a solo admin or consultant, we advocate the necessity to be equipped with the relevant skills to do a brilliant job. You might even be doing the role of a Business Analyst already but don’t know it or have that job title!
