Be sure to check the IIBA web site, for the dates and locations of the 2007 IIBA Certification exams. With locations in four countries on three continents in 12 different cities many BAs will have the opportunity to certify in the coming year.

If you are interested in taking the exam, I recommend that you start working on your application soon. The application is a critical step in the certification process because it is where you detail your BA work experience. It may take some time for you to describe your experience and get your references. You can apply even if you don't know which test date/location is best for you.
You will see that most of the exams are scheduled to coordinate with a BA conference. It is amazing how many BA conferences are planned. 2006 has been a great year for business analysis. 2007 promises to be even more exciting. Happy New Year to all.
