The BCS Systems Modelling Techniques course is primarily concerned with modelling systems from a variety of perspectives. It requires delegates to construct three main types of model reflecting these individual perspectives and to describe the interactions between them. The method followed for modelling is based on a structured approach. Modelling systems is an aid to the design of robust flexible and maintainable systems, and a communication mechanism for deployment and operational use.
