This course is ideal for experienced Business Analysts who meet the eligibility criteria set by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) and are seeking to advance their careers through certification. It's also suited for professionals working in related fields like Project Management, IT, or Consulting, who want to formalize their business analysis skills with a globally recognized credential.

To become CBAP certified, follow these steps:

1. Check Eligibility: Ensure you meet the IIBA's requirements, including 7,500 hours of business analysis experience and 900 hours in at least 4 of the 6 BABOK knowledge areas.
2. Complete the Application Process: Submit your CBAP application through the IIBA website, providing details of your work experience and education.
3. Prepare for the Exam: Enroll in our CBAP Certification Preparation course to gain a thorough understanding of the BABOK Guide and the exam format.
4. Take the Exam: Once approved by IIBA, schedule and take the CBAP exam, which consists of scenario-based questions.

Our course provides mock exams and expert tips to ensure you're fully prepared for each stage.

The time it takes to become CBAP certified depends on your existing level of experience and preparation. Most candidates require several months to complete the application process, study for the exam, and schedule the test. Our 4-day intensive training course provides a fast track to gaining the knowledge you need, but we recommend dedicating additional time for thorough exam preparation.

Not exactly. While the CBAP certification requires 7,500 hours of business analysis work experience over the past 10 years, you might already have that experience without realizing it!

Many professionals perform business analysis tasks as part of their roles even without the formal title. If you've been involved in eliciting requirements, documenting processes, or facilitating stakeholder communication, you could be closer to CBAP eligibility than you think.

To determine if your experience qualifies, we encourage you to get in touch with us. We can help you assess your background and guide you through the certification process.

If you're certain you don't yet meet the experience requirements, consider starting with the ECBA (Entry Certificate in Business Analysis) or CCBA (Certification of Capability in Business Analysis) to build your credentials and work your way up to the CBAP.
