Certification
At International Institute of Business Analysis
(IIBA®), we are dedicated to the development and
maintenance of standards for the practice of Business Analysis, and for
the certification and recognition of practitioners. We are the first
organization to offer formal certification for Business Analysis
Professionals.
The IIBA® has created the Certified Business Analysis
Professional™ (CBAP®), a designation awarded to
candidates who have successfully demonstrated their expertise in this
field. This is done by detailing hands-on work experience in business
analysis through the CBAP® application process, and
passing the IIBA® CBAP® examination.
Certified Business Analysis Professionals are experts in identifying
the business needs of an organization in order to determine the best
solutions, a role that is increasingly seen as a vital component of any
successful project. More and more companies are recognizing the
CBAP® designation and the value and expertise that these
professionals bring to their organizations.
If you are working in the role of business analysis, systems
analysis, requirements analysis or management, project management,
consulting or process improvement, and have an advanced level of
knowledge and experience, you will want to consider the many
professional benefits of earning the CBAP®
designation.
