How to Prepare for ECBA Certification from IIBA

by | Jan 30, 2018 | Education

ECBA® as a Certification comes with many innovative Features!

International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®) recently introduced the much awaited entry level certification for business analysts, Entry Certificate in Business Analysis (ECBA®). The first one being it doesn’t require any experience to appear for the exam. So any professional who is keen to learn about business analysis and  get certified as a business analyst, ECBA® is the perfect certification to look for.

Secondly ECBA® cost is also much lower in terms of certification a fee which is less than half of CCBA® certification and CBAP® certification.

Thirdly one can take the ECBA® Certification examination from one’s own home so you don’t have to go to any place to appear for the exam.

IIBA® does not mandate in instructor led training. So professionals with some business analysis experience can possibly try to take the exam on their own.

All this has led to significant interest in ECBA® over last few months.

Now how does one get ready for ECBA® certification?

Two essential components that you must master ECBA® are:

  1. Clarity on the concepts of BABoK
  2. Attempt sufficient preparatory questions.

Although IIBA® allows one to take the exam without any classroom training, it will be really hard to understand the new BABoK without help of an expert instructor. BABoK V3 is 500+ pages long and quiet complex to follow. An expert instructor can help you to understand BABoK v3 very quickly. We strongly recommendation you to go for an instructor led ECBA® Course.

Here is a week by week plan that you can follow to complete your ECBA® certification.
