CBAP is administered by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA).
IIBA requires at least 7,500 hours of business analysis work in the last 10 years, 35 professional development hours, two references, and agreement to IIBA rules.
The CBAP exam has 120 multiple-choice questions.
Candidates have 3.5 hours to complete the exam.
Requirements Analysis and Design Definition is the largest knowledge area at 30%.
CBAP is computer-based and can be taken online by remote proctoring or at a PSI test center.
CBAP is for experienced business analysis professionals. Before scheduling, candidates should document work history, professional development, references, code of conduct agreement, and certification terms.
Requirements Analysis and Design Definition carries the largest share at 30%, while the remaining five knowledge areas still need steady coverage because each contributes 12-15%.
IIBA describes CBAP questions as scenario and case-study based. Preparation should focus on selecting the best business analysis action in context, not only recalling definitions.
Candidates should verify whether they are using online remote proctoring or a PSI test center and review ID, check-in, system, permitted-item, and exam rule requirements before the appointment.
