Course Overview

Exam preparation for the CCBA certification, aimed at business analysts with 2-3 years of experience who are ready to formalize their practice against the BABOK.

Is This Course Right For You?

This course is ideal for:

Business Analysts (2-3 years experience)

If you're new to this area, our Foundation-level courses are a better starting point than this Advanced-level course.

What You'll Be Able To Do

Certification knowledge matters. Workplace capability matters more. This programme deliberately connects the two. Each major knowledge area is explored through realistic BA situations and, where applicable, mapped to ReqM so learners can see how business analysis artefacts and decisions connect across a lifecycle.

  • Map real project experience against BABOK knowledge areas
  • Apply core BA techniques correctly in exam scenarios
  • Prepare a realistic study plan for the CCBA exam

How You'll Use This At Work

Apply the Business Analysis Core Concept Model (BACCM) and key BABOK® terminology to real situations. Plan and monitor BA activities in a way that reflects stakeholder needs, governance, approach and context. Identify, engage and collaborate with stakeholders using appropriate elicitation and communication approaches. Manage requirements throughout their lifecycle, including traceability, prioritisation, approval, change and maintenance. Analyse the current state, define the future state, assess risks and opportunities, and evaluate strategic options. Specify and model requirements and designs at an appropriate level of detail. Evaluate solution performance and value using appropriate measures and evidence. Recognise and apply the major BABOK® techniques and understand when each technique is useful. Translate BA thinking into practical artefacts using ReqM — without treating AI output as a substitute for professional judgement. Prepare systematically for the CCBA® examination using scenario-based reasoning rather than memorisation alone.
