Important Course Information
Requirements:
- You should already have studied the BABOKv3 and be able to:
- Name the purpose of every knowledge area and task
- Explain how the knowledge areas interact with one another
- Identify the output created by each knowledge area and task
- Demonstrate how the elements within a task contribute to accomplishing that task
- Explain each technique
- If you have doubt about your knowledge, take Course 3515 to satisfy the above requirement.
Course Materials:
- If you are not attending Course 3515, you are expected to already have your own copy of the Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK Guide) 3rd Edition. The book is free to IIBA members, and available for purchase from Amazon.
- For continued practice, attendees are given access to an exam prep tool for 90 days.
Course Preparation:
- Whether you intend to apply for the ECBA®, CCBA®, or CBAP®, taking all three portions of training is vital to your success. In Course 3516 attendees review test-taking tips with the guidance of a Subject Matter Expert (SME), and learn why an answer is correct or incorrect. In Course 3517 attendees review real BA case studies and answer 20 questions about each, offering an opportunity to analyze, with a SME, the steps to success in various BA job situations.
Exam Information:
- Attendees practice taking ECBA® and CCBA® multiple-choice styled questions and then review test-taking tips with the guidance of a SME.
- The IIBA® Exam is not offered with this course, as attendees need to complete an application process to qualify with IIBA® to sit the exam.
- The IIBA® requires some professional development training before sitting the exam (course hours satisfy this requirement):
- Level 1 (ECBA®) and Level 2 (CCBA®) require 21 hours (this course meets the 21 hour requirement)
- Level 3 (CBAP®) requires 35 hours (Courses 3515, 3516, and 3517, together, meet the 35 hour requirement)
