CBAP® Exam Preparation

Cut your study time in half and seriously improve your chances of passing the CBAP® exam first time

E-Training

Course Overview

This unique e-training course is designed to improve your chances of passing the Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP®) certification exam on the first try. The demand for professionals with the CBAP® certification is growing within industries across the globe as organisations struggle to create disciplined approaches for eliciting and managing requirements. To earn the CBAP® credential offered by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®), you must demonstrate the required business analysis experience and pass a 3.5-hour, 150-question exam, covering all knowledge areas of IIBA's A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK® Guide).

You will find out exactly what you need to know and how to prepare yourself to fulfill the requirements for each BABOK® Guide knowledge area, including the business analysis techniques identified in each area. You will become familiar with the makeup and format of the exam itself by answering practice questions within each lesson. You will get a chance to explore the rationale behind each answer with your instructor, a certified CBAP®. In addition, after you've completed the lessons, you'll have the opportunity to take "real-life" practice exams to put your skills to the test.

As part of the course, you will be able to download ESI’s BA Techniques Handbook, which is a stand-alone guide that describes in detail each of the business analysis techniques covered by the BABOK® Guide. The BA Techniques Handbook explains the purpose of each technique, how the technique can be used, and where it is referenced in the BABOK® Guide. The Handbook will not only help you study for the exam, but can also be used to help you identify and select the appropriate techniques when conducting a business analysis effort. In the course, you will also have access to numerous other study aids and memorisation drills that will further enhance your familiarity with the BABOK® Guide.

To make the most of your limited study time, learn from ESI’s business analysis experts through this e-training course.
