Is the international BA diploma worthwhile? My company offers but wonder if other qualifications such as AWS would be more worth while?

Yes still quite relevant, perhaps diminishing slightly with pure Agile framework certifications becoming more popular. Still often looked for on CVs in financial services. Not sure about the comparison with a cloud pathway. Cloud is a subset of technology and different skillset. Cloud certs are a good way to learn how technology infrastructure is built but they won’t teach you how to be a BA.
