Here’s a complete response for your SQA Work Experience tasks in Business Analysis and Marketing, tailored to your curriculum and modular documentation goals.

🧠 IT Business Analyst Task

Section 1: Personal Details

• Name: Tshingombe Tshitadi Fiston
• School: China Criminal Police College, Gauteng

Section 2: Business Analysis Case Study

1. What does a Business Analyst do? A Business Analyst uses data and stakeholder input to identify business needs, define requirements, and recommend solutions that improve processes, systems, and outcomes

1. .
2. How can they help Helter Skelter Theme Parks?

• Market Expansion: Analyze feasibility of entering Europe and America
• Stakeholder Mapping: Identify and manage internal and external interests
• Gap Analysis: Highlight missing resources, skills, or infrastructure
• Website Requirements: Define user needs and functional specs for digital platforms

Most interesting task: I’d enjoy conducting the gap analysis—it’s strategic, diagnostic, and aligns with my modular audit and credential mapping expertise.

Section 3: Stakeholders

1. Typical stakeholders:

• Owners (Fun-Fair family)
• Staff (full-time, part-time, seasonal)
• Customers
• Local councils and regulators
• Suppliers and contractors
• Hotel partners
• Investors
• IT and marketing teams
• Community groups

Stakeholder thoughts on expansion:

• Staff: Excited but anxious about relocation or job changes
• Customers: Curious about new experiences abroad
• Local councils: Concerned about zoning, tourism impact
• Investors: Focused on ROI and brand reputation

Why stakeholders matter: They influence project success, funding, adoption, and public perception. A Business Analyst ensures their needs are considered early. Unhappy stakeholders? Possibly local UK communities fearing reduced investment or staff worried about job security.

Section 4: Gaps

Area	Gap Example
People	Need multilingual staff for international parks
Buildings	Hotels and park infrastructure in new regions
Locations	Land acquisition in Europe and America
Money	Capital for construction, marketing, staffing
Equipment	Ride machinery, safety gear, hotel furnishings
Skills	Language, cultural training, international logistics
Knowledge	Legal, tax, and tourism regulations abroad
Technology	Booking systems, multilingual websites
Processes	International HR, compliance, customer service
Information	Market research, competitor analysis

Section 5: Website Design Factors

• User Experience (UX): Easy navigation, mobile-friendly
• Accessibility: Multilingual support, readable fonts
• Visual Appeal: High-quality images, consistent branding
• Functionality: Booking system, park info, hotel packages
• Security: GDPR compliance, secure payment gateways
• Performance: Fast loading, responsive design
• Feedback: Contact forms, reviews, FAQs

Section 6: Reflective Diary

1. Would I want a career as a Business Analyst? Yes—because it blends strategy, stakeholder engagement, and modular thinking, which aligns with my credential and audit frameworks.
2. Will I use this in school? Absolutely. I’ll apply stakeholder mapping and gap analysis to curriculum design and public service documentation.
3. Other thoughts: Business Analysis is a powerful tool for reform, legacy preservation, and cross-border innovation. It’s ideal for modular, bilingual, and credential-linked systems.

📣 Marketing Task

Section 1: Personal Details

• Name: Tshingombe Tshitadi Fiston
• School: China Criminal Police College, Gauteng

Section 2: Customer Persona

• Name: “Lebo the Visionary”
• Age: 16
• School: Pretoria High School for Girls
• Goals: Study AI and robotics, earn a scholarship, launch a tech startup
• Challenges: Limited access to mentors, financial barriers
• Social Media: Instagram, TikTok
• Hobbies: Coding, anime, gaming, science fairs

Section 3: TikTok Marketing Idea

Campaign Name: “SQA Level Up” Concept:

• Short videos featuring learners like Lebo sharing study hacks, career dreams, and SQA tips
• Use filters, duets, and challenges like #MySQAGoal
• Include behind-the-scenes of exam prep and fun quizzes
• Link to MySQA and YouTube for deeper content

Reflective Diary

1. What is marketing to me? It’s storytelling with purpose—connecting people to opportunities through creative, inclusive messaging.
2. Did the task help? Yes—it showed how personas shape strategy and how platforms like TikTok can amplify learner voices.
3. Want to learn more? Definitely. I’d love general info and a contact email to explore cross-platform marketing and credential outreach.
4. Other thoughts: Marketing is essential for equity and engagement. It can democratize access to education and certification.
