Attend our CBAP Training and attain the best business analysis certification today. The CBAP certification (Certified Business Analysis Professional) is the highest business analysis certification for a business analyst. A certified business analysis professional CBAP designation will help you earn a higher salary than a business analyst that is not.  The reason is that employers see a certified business analyst as someone who is serious about business analysis and possesses the right business analysis education, competencies or knowledge to get the job done.

The CBAP certification requires a minimum of 5 years (7500 hours) of experience to sit for the exam.  If you have less than that, you can go for the CCBA certification (Certified Competency in Business Analysis), also from the IIBA which only requires 3 years of experience.  Earning the CBAP or CCBA business analyst credentials will be the best step to take in becoming a certified business analysis professional.

We are an IIBA Endorsed Education Provider (IIBA EEP) and are one of few authorized training institutes to provide certification courses in business analysis in USA and Dubai.  We offer a variety of business analysis training courses, such as practical workshops and seminars, CBAP training and CCBA exam preparation boot camps, fundamentals of business analysis, business analysis short courses, and longer duration business analyst training programs for corporations.  Most of the training courses we offer are centered on the IIBA’s Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK), which is the global standard for best practices in business analysis.

To earn business analyst professional certification, it is highly recommended that you go for either CBAP or CCBA.  The CBAP or CCBA certifications are earned by passing a multiple-choice examination that is based on IIBA’s Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK).  We offer many accredited BA training courses that can help you in achieving the CBAP or CCBA certifications.

So, how does a business analyst become certified as a CBAP or CCBA?

The first thing you need to do is locate an IIBA Endorsed Education Provider (IIBA EEP), who offers approved CBAP training or business analysis professional certification classroom training courses and programs, or CBAP boot camps. We are one of few IIBA approved providers who provide such certified business analysis trainings and workshops.

The Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP®) is a designation awarded to candidates who have successfully demonstrated their expertise in the field of Business Analysis. This is done by detailing hands-on work experience in business analysis through the CBAP® application process and requiring candidates to pass a rigorous multiple-choice examination.

Certified Business Analysis Professionals (CBAP) 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.

In today’s complex project environment, it has been proven over and over that accurately understanding the client’s requirements can make the difference between success and failure. Clients who feel that you can understand their needs and requirements are more likely to award you the contract or project. Project managers who can solicit the correct requirements and details are more likely to make it to the project’s finish line.

In this 4 day course, you will learn the concepts, tools, techniques and methods applied in Business Analysis to develop the right solutions per the customer’s requirements. You will also prepare to sit for Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP®) certification exam offered by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), based out of Toronto, Canada.

Business analysis is the discipline of identifying business needs and determining solutions to business problems. Solutions often include a systems development component, but may also consist of process improvement, organizational change or strategic planning and policy development. The person who carries out this task is called a business analyst or BA.

Those BA’s who work solely on developing software systems may be called IT Business Analysts, Technical Business Analysts, Online Business Analysts or Systems Analysts.

Business analysis, as a discipline, has a heavy overlap with requirements analysis sometimes also called requirements engineering, but focuses on identifying the changes to an organization that are required for it to achieve strategic goals. These changes include changes to strategies, structures, policies, processes, and information systems.
