Babok Certification Australia

If you’re planning on working as a Business Analyst or if you’re already working as one, familiarity with BABOK (the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge) is an essential requirement. Without this, it can be difficult to secure employment as a Business Analyst and practically impossible to advance in your career.

You will need to thoroughly understand the knowledge areas of the BABOK in order to qualify as a CCBA and then as a CBAP. Those are important qualifications you will want to earn as your career progresses.

To obtain this certification, you’ll need to complete a course of training. The best value BABOK certification training in Australia is available from Business Analysis Excellence.

Here are a few reasons why you’ll get better value with us:

This Is An Accredited IIBA BABOK Certification Course

The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) is a professional association that promotes and protects professional standards in the field of business analysis. They are responsible for the development and maintenance of the BABOK and they oversee and confer the various certifications available to professionals working as Business Analysts.

We ourselves are IIBA Endorsed Education Providers, meaning that our training has been evaluated by the IIBA as meeting the standards they require for achieving that status. It’s the “badge of authority” that indicates you can rely on us for quality training and support.

Because the IIBA is an international organization, your certification will be recognized worldwide, and is a rare and valuable credential. At the time of writing, fewer than 10,000 people worldwide hold the CBAP qualification, and over 35% of them reside in the United States.

Our BABOK Course Is Taught By Experienced Business Analysts

Something that definitely helps us to stand out from the average training provider is that all our courses are taught by expert Business Analysts who have extensive field experience. This is exceptionally rare. Most vocational courses and professional courses are taught by academics, which places students at a disadvantage because the information they receive is based on research and not on personal experience.
