ACI Learning Tech Academy Launches PMBA Pro Program

New program prepares working professionals and career changers for PMP® and PMI-PBA® certifications while building practical leadership, analysis, and project delivery skills

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — July 10, 2026

ACI Learning Tech Academy announced the launch of its new Project Management & Business Analysis Professional (PMBA Pro) program, a career-focused training experience designed to help students build the skills needed to connect business strategy with successful project execution.

The program combines preparation for two globally recognized Project Management Institute certifications: the Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification and the PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)® certification. By integrating both disciplines into one learning path, ACI Learning Tech Academy aims to prepare students for the evolving expectations of today's employers, who increasingly need professionals who can define business needs, align stakeholders, manage requirements, and deliver measurable results. The Tech Academy program does not require prior experience.

"Organizations are no longer looking for project managers who only manage timelines and tasks. They need strategic project leaders who understand the business problem, communicate across teams and deliver solutions that create value. This program was built to help students develop that full skill set."

— Tim Kalil, President of ACI Learning Tech Academy

While traditional project management training often focuses heavily on schedules, budgets, resources, and methodologies, modern project environments require a broader combination of skills. Projects may be completed on time and within scope, but without strong business analysis, they may not solve the right problem or deliver the intended business outcome.

The PMBA Pro program helps students build practical skills in both areas:

Project Management: Lead teams, manage timelines and resources, work across agile, hybrid, and traditional environments, and guide projects from initiation through completion.

Business Analysis: Identify business needs, define requirements, analyze workflows, reduce ambiguity, improve decision-making, and connect project outcomes to organizational goals.

The program was designed for adult learners, working professionals, and career changers who want to transition into project-based roles, move into leadership positions, increase earning potential, earn respected credentials, and stand out in competitive hiring markets.

Rather than focusing on exam preparation alone, ACI Learning Tech Academy emphasizes practical application, active learning, and real-world scenarios that reflect how project managers and business analysts work in modern organizations. Students are prepared not only to pursue certification, but also to build career-ready confidence, strategic communication skills, business problem-solving abilities, and tools they can apply immediately in the workplace.

The launch reflects a growing need for professionals who can combine strategy, communication, analysis, and execution. By bringing PMP® and PMI-PBA® preparation together, ACI Learning Tech Academy is helping students prepare for roles that require adaptable, business-minded leaders with an eye for detail who can deliver meaningful results.
