After obtaining the BA Associate certificate, students are qualified to work toward BA Certified. BA Certified is an elite certification that recognizes individuals who possess proven skills, knowledge and experience in eliciting, organizing, analyzing, documenting, communicating and verifying requirements. Becoming BA Certified consists of earning the BA Associate certificate, possessing a minimum of two years business analysis experience, providing two professional references and passing a two-part final exam. The case-study final exam consists of answering online multiple choice questions about the case requirements and documenting specific sections of the requirements package.
Upon the successful completion of the BA Certified exam, students receive a custom-mounted certificate and lapel pin. Being BA Certified entitles use of the BA Certified logo and the ability to use our organization as a reference. With a student’s permission, certification can also be easily verified on our Web site through the certification directory.
As an additional benefit of becoming BA Certified, we periodically send out special publications to these students. For example, in 2008 we mailed complimentary copies of B2T Training president Barbara Carkenord’s book, Seven Steps to Mastering Business Analysis.
