A current guide to the IIBA Certification of Capability in Business Analysis exam, including eligibility, 130 scenario-based questions, 3-hour timing, BABOK knowledge-area weights, PSI test centers, remote proctoring, and exam-day rules.
CCBA is IIBA's intermediate business analysis credential. Preparation should combine documented eligibility readiness with scenario-based BABOK practice under a 3-hour clock.
Use these points before preparing for the Certification of Capability in Business Analysis exam.
CCBA is administered by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA).
IIBA requires at least 3,750 hours of business analysis work in the last seven years, 21 professional development hours, references, and agreement to IIBA rules.
The CCBA exam has 130 scenario-based multiple-choice questions.
Candidates have 3 hours to complete the exam.
Requirements Analysis and Design Definition is the largest knowledge area at 32%.
CCBA is computer-based and can be taken online by remote proctoring or at a PSI test center.
CCBA requires business analysis work history, BABOK knowledge-area distribution, professional development hours, references, and agreement to IIBA terms before the exam stage.
Requirements Analysis and Design Definition carries 32%, Elicitation and Collaboration carries 20%, and Requirements Life Cycle Management carries 18%, so these areas deserve serious practice time.
IIBA describes CCBA questions as scenario-based. Preparation should focus on selecting the best business analysis action in context rather than recalling isolated BABOK 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.

The Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) credential from IIBA is intended for business analysis professionals with roughly two to three years of experience. Current IIBA eligibility requires at least 3,750 hours of business analysis work experience in the last seven years, including either at least 900 hours in each of two BABOK Guide knowledge areas or at least 500 hours in each of four BABOK knowledge areas. Candidates must also complete at least 21 hours of professional development in the last four years, provide references, agree to IIBA's Code of Conduct and certification terms, and pass the exam. The CCBA exam is computer-based, includes 130 multiple-choice scenario-based questions formulated from the BABOK Guide, and must be completed within 3 hours. IIBA lists the current blueprint weights as Business Analysis Planning and Monitoring (12%), Elicitation and Collaboration (20%), Requirements Life Cycle Management (18%), Strategy Analysis (12%), Requirements Analysis and Design Definition (32%), and Solution Evaluation (6%). CCBA can be taken online by remote proctoring or at a PSI test center; candidates should confirm scheduling, ID requirements, system checks, permitted items, language availability, and IIBA exam-day rules before the appointment.

IIBA requires at least 3,750 hours of business analysis work experience in the last seven years, with specified distribution across BABOK knowledge areas, plus professional development and reference requirements.
Confirm 3,750 hours of business analysis work, knowledge-area distribution, 21 professional development hours, references, and IIBA agreements.
Prioritize Requirements Analysis and Design Definition, Elicitation and Collaboration, and Requirements Life Cycle Management, then cover the remaining knowledge areas.
Use scenario questions to practice stakeholder analysis, elicitation choices, requirement tracing, strategy analysis, design definition, and solution evaluation.
Practice 130-question pacing for a 3-hour exam so longer scenario questions do not consume the full clock.
Review PSI or remote-proctoring rules, ID requirements, system checks, permitted items, language availability, check-in timing, and IIBA exam policies.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
