Turning a vague business problem into requirements a delivery team can actually build against.
Most delivery failures are requirements failures wearing a different costume. The team built what was asked for; nobody checked whether that was the problem worth solving.
This certification assesses the practice that prevents it: eliciting what people mean rather than what they say, modelling it so the ambiguity becomes visible, and validating it before the build rather than after.
It sits in the Specialised Practice track at Professional tier, and is issued with a unique credential ID, a two-year validity period and an independently hosted digital badge.
Business analysts, product-adjacent practitioners, and project managers who carry the analysis themselves because there is no separate BA. Useful wherever requirements are contested or the problem is poorly framed.
The paper is weighted across five domains. Weightings show how much of the examination each area accounts for, so preparation can be planned against them.
| Domain | Weighting | |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Delivery planning and scope control | 25% |
| 02 | Stakeholder engagement and governance | 20% |
| 03 | Risk, issue and dependency management | 20% |
| 04 | Schedule, cost and resource discipline | 20% |
| 05 | Closure, benefits and lessons learned | 15% |
Business analysis is one of the most portable skills in delivery — every sector needs it, and the shortage is consistent. An assessed credential is a straightforward way to evidence it.
Yes. The Professional tier assumes you are already working on live delivery. There is no formal hours requirement, but the examination is written for practitioners who have made real trade-offs on real work.
Online, monitored by a live proctor alongside automated integrity checks. You book a slot after enrolling and can sit it from home or your workplace.
Two years from issue. The expiry date is printed on the certificate and shown on the public verification record, so a lapsed credential is always visible.
A certificate carrying a unique credential ID and verification QR code, plus a digital badge hosted independently by LiveCertification for LinkedIn, a CV or an email signature.
Yes, without contacting us. Every credential ID resolves on our public register, and the digital badge carries its own independent verification page.
You receive a result breakdown by domain so you know where to focus. A retake can be booked from your dashboard at a lower fee than the original enrolment.
